Cooking pancakes is just a question of practice. You need a
heavy-bottomed frying pan which is just lightly greased, and which
must be heated through to exactly the right temperature, but not so
hot that it smokes the fat or burns the pancakes. Cook 1 tablespoon
of the mixture at a time, spreading it over the pan. You may need to
loosen the edges of the pancakes from the pan before you toss them,
and allow 1 minute on each side to cook them through.
