What should I do to make the pancake not stick to the pan?

Answer 1

Add oil to the pan first, then add your butter. The butter adds flavor while the oil prevents the butter from burning and the pancake from sticking.

Answer 2

I put a table spoon of oil with the batter. And usually I let it sit for a while before I start making the pancake. The thing is usually the first pancake sticks to the pan. So to avoid that I heat the pan first and put lightly some oil in the pan. When the pan gets hot enough, a slight sizzling sound I pour a portion of the batter and lift the pan from direct contact with the hot top. This will prevent the pancake from burning. Use low medium, this will do the trick. It would also help that as the batter dries up, prick some holes in the pancake while on the hot top, this will release the trapped air under the pancake and will even up the cooking. You can also use a non stick pan.

Answer 3

Depends upon the pan.

For a nonstick pan, a little Pam or butter works well. Make sure the pan is hot enough (a couple drops of water should bounce & quickly evaporate). Also make sure the nonstick material is not damaged from overheating or using metal utensils.

For a "regular" pan that is stainless steel, use butter and make sure it is hot enough.

Your first pancake will show you if you need to adjust the heat a little higher or lower. Just before you flip the pancake you may need a little more butter.

Bon appetite! :-)

I stopped using oil and butter on my skillet a while ago...the best way is to use a non-stick spray like Pam. You have to coat the pan evenly, though. And don't use too much. The problem with butter and oil is you usually don't get an even coat, so when the butter burns off, that spot on the pancake will get burnt...and then with the oil...you have to keep adding it for each pancake...all that oil is not good for you. But if you insist on using butter, you should put a small dollop on the pan before each pancake...let it melt, and then wipe off excess with a napkin so you don't get burnt spots on your pancakes...

Answer 5

the pan has to be hot before you put the oil in, then the oil must heat up and then the batter goes in. I add a bit of butter to fry them in. there is a knack to frying pancakes you just have to practice.
