[quote=Anonymous]I have found that a fairly thick batter works better.  Thinning the batter (for me) makes it easier to burn the pancakes.  I put oil in the pan until it spreads out to the edges.  Don't just put a little and tip the pan back and forth to coat because pancake batter soaks up oil like a sponge and that little oil will get absorbed and then it doesn't fry the pancake right.  Put in a small drop of water (I dip the ladle handle for the ladle I use to put batter in the pan) in the oil.  Turn the heat on high.  When the water pops, the pan is ready and turn it down to medium high.  Pour the batter into a disk (I have a gravy ladle that is just the right amount to fit 4 perfect disks into my skillet).  Cook until the batter starts to bubble, then flip.  Cook until thesecond side is golden brown.  And take them out.  Remember to add more oil between every batch because each batch of pancakes will absorb some of the oil from the pan leaving too little to fry more pancakes.[/quote]
