How to Make Perfect Pancakes

Step 1: Batter
Whatever pancake recipes you follow remember that the more flour you use the heavier your batter. For lighter, fluffier batter use ricotta cheese with whisked up egg whites--- be sure and not whisk the batter too much or you’ll drive all the air out.

Step 2: Griddle Pan
Make sure your griddle pan is not too hot and brush with a bit of clarified butter. Put a couple of ladles, one right on top of the other, onto the griddle pan. Don't worry if they are not perfectly round-- they're handmade they should look handmade.

Step 3: No Crowding
Be sure and leave room for maneuvering; sometimes pancakes can be clumsy to handle so don’t overcrowd your pan.

Step 4: Bubbles
Be patient with your pancakes! Watch for bubbles to come up and pop, when you see that, it's time to flip.

Step 5: Get Fruity
Before flipping, stick bits of fruit right into the uncooked side of your pancakes then flip.

Step 6: Brush
Brush around the edges of your pancakes with some butter; be sure to gently tip your griddle pan forwards and backwards allowing the butter to flow under the cakes.
