• Always let your pancake batter rest after mixing (about 30 to 45 minutes).

• Only flip your pancakes once, otherwise, if you over flip, they will end up rubbery and tough

• Always use a non-stick frying pan

• Don't be tempted to flip your pancakes too early, allow them to set on the bottom first

• The best thing to fry your pancakes in is butter

• Swirl the pan as soon as the batter has been added, don't be tempted to use a utensil to spread it
