Notes

Pancake Topping Ideas : My family loves spreading some warmed peanut butter on the pancake and then some banana slices. Other ideas include flavored pancake syrups, finely chopped pecans, almond slices, warmed Nutella, whipped cream, fresh fruit, jams or jellies, pure maple syrup, etc.

Tips For Making Pancakes : When you first pour the batter, look for the air bubbles coming up through the batter to know when they are getting close to being ready to flip. Also, make sure your pan or griddle is hot before you pour the batter, and add a little butter or oil between each batch to ensure the pancakes don't stick to the hot griddle. Immediately spread some butter on the hot pancake so it melts into the pancake for extra deliciousness when eaten.
