Cooking tips:
For maximum tenderness, use fresh milk—it reacts better with flour and gives the desired consistency.
Don't overdo it with salt - too much can ruin the taste and make the pancakes bitter.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Too high a temperature will cause them to burn, while too low a temperature will result in the pancakes taking too long to cook and becoming too dense.
Don't open the lid if you're using one. The lid helps the pancakes cook faster, but you should only open it when the pancake is almost done.
Don't flip the pancake too early. Wait until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges become light and dry.
