Pancakes are delicious, and generally they're pretty easy to make.  If you're feeling a little lazy you can easily buy some mix at your local store, or you could get a little creative and make your own batter.  Either way pancakes are a pretty sweet and easy treat to make yourself when those muchies start grumbling.  Despite this, pancakes are also pretty easy to f**k up.  But- have no fear, here are the key things you need to remember when making yourself some dank pancakes!

1. The batter HAS to be smooth


Yes it's difficult and if you don't have a mixer you may get carpal tunnel syndrome.  But if you don't mix it completely your pancakes are going to be lumpy and who the hell wants lumpy pancakes!  No one that's who.  So mix that shit properly!

2. Butter the pan!


If you don't want your pancakes to stick, and therefore not be able to flip them, butter that pan!  It honestly just makes everything easier

3. Size doesn't always matter


Ok so I know everyone says it but I mean it, when it comes to pancakes size really doesn't matter at all.  In fact it's way easier to find success when the pancakes are small- they're much easier to flip.  In my first attempt I used a much bigger pan in hopes of creating giant fluffy pancakes but the first one broke immediately.  I then switched to a smaller pan and began, with much more success, to make significantly smaller pancakes. 

  However if you're pancake master then go ahead and try to make 'em bigger.  If you're a beginner like me, take it one step at a time and remember that's it's quality not quantity :)

4. Keep the heat on LOW


You will burn your pancakes if you try to cook them too fast.  Patience is key and chilling for like two seconds will not kill you

Now I'm sure that there's more to know- because let's face it there always is- but that's a pretty good jumpstart into the world of pancakes!
