Every time.
Please help. Teach me how to perfectly cook pancakes so that this never happens again.
Its annoying, but all I know is
>Don't mix too much
>Pan must be nonstick and NOT scratched up by metal utensils, if you need to get a new pan
>Use peanut oil. Just do it
>Don't fuck up
Fucking teflon, nigger. How does it work?
cook in oven on baking paper
Wait tell your at leat ten years old before making a flajack.
You'll be fine after that OP
Only then, get a nonstick pan and put a light layer of real butter and cook on medium heat.

Pancakes are a shit food anyways. Just a vehicle for syrup.

Pancakes are waffles for people who are too dickless to make crepes.

what does that even mean
>>7600297
Make a crepe or a waffle or eat a cupcake for breakfast if you can't cook a pancake.
Senpai this is what i do
>heat pan medium high heat
>get a butter stick
>smear that shit over the hot pan from the center to the sides (nigger this is important, also teflon pans are GOAT for this kind of shit)
>Pour the batter mixture on the center slowly
>the mixture will start to form sort of bubbles. When the bubbles pop you turn it to the other side
>do not vary these steps until you know how to make a goddamn pancake like holy shit dude
is butter really uncommon in usa or something
All my life theres been a 500g pack of butter in my fridge.

You might be northern European but likewise.
>>7600335
Its not uncommon. But more people buy margerine.
>>7600254
Please tell me this is all a joke
>>7600304
This. The bubbles and lightening batter at the edges is a sure sign. How in the shit do you fuck up pancakes?
Even just using a teflon pan is sufficient.
I always skip the butter when I make pancakes. Is the butter just there to prevent sticking or to add flavor?
You simply need a new pan. I had this problem with omelettes a while back. Started to doubt my abilities and blame myself for the burntness scraping bits of egg away. Got a new pan and now perfect every time

both. it adds a nice crispy layer of buttery goodness to your pancake.
