- Heat control: Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent burning while allowing the inside to cook through.
- Even cooking: Wipe and re-grease the pan between batches if needed for consistent results.
- Serving idea: Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Batch cooking: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
