Tips:

- To achieve perfectly golden brown pancakes, ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter. - For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, allow the pancakes to cook undisturbed for a few minutes before flipping. - To prevent the pancakes from sticking, grease the pan with butter or oil before pouring the batter. - If you prefer a thinner pancake, adjust the batter consistency by adding more milk. - For a thicker pancake, reduce the amount of milk in the batter. - Feel free to experiment with different fillings and toppings to create unique flavor combinations. - For a delightful presentation, serve the pancakes with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
