    Another tip is to leave the pancake batter for 1 hour before using.

    The flour grains will swell a bit and the mixture will be a lot stickier.

    My mum always uses lard instead of oil as she thinks it helps them stick less and taste nicer.

    Not a vegetarian friendly option though I'm afraid :(
    I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right

    I always use olive oil and for ages my 1st pancake always stuck and i'd end up throwing it away but the rest were always ok...until one day i twigged that the first pancake never worked because i never had my pan hot enough.

    My pancakes are always great now. I don't leave the batter, i just make it and use it (i also make quite big pancakes as well).


    I LOVE PANCAKES!
  • Oh yes, I forgot to mention to let it stand. I don't know for definite if it makes any difference but my mum once told me to leave batter to stand for several hours before using - it's supposed to be good for yorkshire puds too.
