The batter mixes are really cheap, think it's about 15p or something silly like that in sainsburys, this means no weighing or getting mixture too thick or thin and you can make up extra quickly if kids are still hungry, also get a hand held electric blender, they are only a few pounds too and are great for smoothies etc.. or being healthy to whizz up a friut coulis to go on the pancakes instead of sugar or jam. Use a non stick pan and a ladle and have a heatproof bowl with oil in, i use just sunflower as butter tends to burn and olive oil is ok for grown up pancakes but kids say they taste funny. I put a teaspoon appx of oil, run it round the pan then pour excess off and that usually lasts a few pancakes, keep the pan hot, ladle some mix into the centre whilst holding the pan in the left hand and swirl the mixture out to the edges (the first pancake usually is rubbish so dont give up), when it bubbles shake the pan and if it moves you can try flipping, or just turn it over with a spatula. It does not cost much or take long to practice and i freeze excess pancakes so if at first you dont succeed............

Don't put too much egg in the batter.
Use a well seasoned frying pan, heat dry till blue smoke comes off it before using.
Fry in sunflower oil, only use a little per pancake (amount about the size of a 10p piece)
Use a spatula of fish slice to check the underside whilst cooking.
Flip boldly! The most accidents happen with half-hearted flipping.

I don't have a problem flipping my pancakes because I make the batter slightly thicker than normal and I grease the pan after every pancake is cooked. Cook on a fairy high gas and turn after 1 min'. The pancake needs to be quite 'stiff' to flip properly.

Go to the co-op, buy a packet of batter mix for about 45p, get your free jif lemon.
Go home.
Make batter mix up and then leave for half hour. Put a non-stick pan on the hob, heat some butter, pour in a ladle full of the mix, swirl round pan until evenly coated and wait....
...until the pancake starts to bubble. If you try to turn it before this point it'll go t*ts up...you've been warned! When it is ready, loosen the pancake around the outside, shake the pan a little and then toss.
When the pancake is done I like to keep them warm in the oven until you have a big pile of them, use lots of sugar and jif lemon, roll pancake up, eat with your fingers and continue doing so until you feel sick.
Lovely!

This is going to sound like an advert... but the iCook cookware pan was just fantastic yesterday! I think that it is sold via a network marketing company; Amway / Quixtar? It used to be the 'waterless' cookware range as sold by Zig Ziglar..... it's the best non-stick pan we've ever had. It hardly needs any heat, disperses the heat evenly and NEVER sticks. It's just brilliant!
PS - I am not associated with Amway or Quixtar in any way and I'm not selling the products....but maybe I should!!?? They are rather good....

Use a good quality pan, get it really hot, swill some oil around in it then pour it out. Add the batter quickly & hey presto it won't stick. Flip when brown on the underside & you'll have the perfect pancake.

The secret lies in the fact that milk boils/cooks fast, the pancake is burning because the milk goes faster than the rest of the ingredients,in order to get the pancake not to burn so fast you have to either mix the milk with water or use water rather than milk.
