Answer 1

I am a chef, and I am here to give you the best recipe ever, for pancakes!!!!! satisfaction guaranteed!!!
Here's the recipe.....( One I named myself) Marsha's to die for pancakes!!!!

2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups of buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder

Add flour,sugar,baking powder and baking soda together in large bowl. Stir all the dry ingredients till they are mixed well.

In a different bowl combine buttermilk, oil, and eggs together and mix them well with a fork. then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture stirring until smooth.
Turn stove on medium heat
place non_stick skillet on the burner pour approximately 1/3 cup of oil (vegetable oil) in skillet, let oil get hot then pour pancake batter ( using a ladle --a large big spoon like utensil used for dipping soup etc..) or use a very large spoon to make the pancakes the size you want.

Turn pancakes when you see bubbles all on top of the pancakes don't turn until you see the bubbles. your pancakes should be a nice golden brown.

Answer 2

Pancakes are all about the batter and the balance of ingredients. If the batter is too runny or too stiff, it will not cook up properly. I suggest you check the ingredients in your recipe and in particular look at amount of liquid and/or flour you are using.

Good luck, the perfect pancake awaits you!

Answer 3

The skillet isn't hot enough or the batter is either too watery or too thick. Don't flip the pancake until the side facing up is covered in holey bubbles. Good luck!

Answer 4

maybe u don't cook them long enough on the first side b 4 u flip them the pancakes have to have a lot of little holes before you turn them.

Answer 5

You're not following the recipe.
The burner's too hot.
You're cooking them too long.
You're not cooking them long enough.
You're using corn flour insted of wheat flour.
The butter is rancid.
Someone peed in the batter.
You don't have a kitchen.
The toilet bowl is NOT a good place to mix the batter.
You smell funny.

Answer 6

Crap is not an ingredient for pancakes!Next time leave that out and they will turn out sooooo much better!

Answer 7

Try adding a table spoon brandy, viniger or lemon juice. Did you remember to let the batter stand before baking? your pan has to be realy hot. Oh and add a table spoon of oil into your batter. Use very little in your pan. let me know if it worked.

Answer 8

If you prepare pancakes correctly they can be extremely delicious! Maybe if you explain your preparation someone can help.

Answer 9

Maybe you are using the recipe for crapcakes instead of pancakes....

Answer 10

It could be the wrong mix, batter is too thin or thick, heat is too high or low, batter is too lumpy, batter is over beaten...could be a number of things. you have to more specific than that.
