This is why I stick to the mix. Maybe it’s not as good, but it works everytime.

I always have a difficult time with the first pancake and the second one always works out perfectly… lol

More milk. I have a very inexact way of making pancakes in that I start with the basic recipe, then I just keep adding more milk or flour until I get the consistency I like – sometimes they end up tasting a bit too milky or floury, but that’s why you have good maple syrup!

i totally want to make pancakes for dinner, but I’m in the process of thawing some meat, so its not going to happen.

My guess is the temp as well – I usually turn the stove on for a few minutes before putting the batter on so the pan can get hot. I never sift anything, way too much work, but I don’t think that was the issue.

I have no advice either. But major props on the effort! I even screw up bag pancakes.

Oh YUM. I really want pancakes now. And it’s awesome that you made them from scratch!

No idea as to how it went wrong, though. :/

I think that Krista is right about the temperature, and if you make them too thick it’s impossible to cook them right. Thin is the way to go… they should fluff up as you’re cooking them anyway.

My guess is the temperature wasn’t right, I usually have it medium the whole way but I did mine on an electric frying pan. If not I was too tempted to try to flip them chef-style and that led to a disastrous mess.
