Cooking tips

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.

Use the right pan. For thin pancakes, flat-bottomed pans with low sides are best.

For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of vanilla sugar to the dough.

Use fresh ingredients. This especially applies to eggs and milk—they need to be fresh to ensure the dough turns out fluffy.
