When you cook some pancakes, you need to make sure that you mix a little amount of milk with an egg and some flour. Just look after it. Neither make the mixture too thick, nor too liquefied. The you are supposed to put the skillet on medium heat and smear it with some butter, initially. Next, pour some mixed pancake batter into the pan. Then, when they are heated enough, use a spatula to flip over and cook the other side. And at last, pour some maple syrup on them, and enjoy your food!
