How to Tell It's Done

until combined: small lumps are fine

Tips

Overmixing develops gluten, and the pancakes come out tough and flat. Mix only until no dry flour remains.

Common Mistakes

A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
Bubbles that pop and don't close up are the sign to flip: the bottom is golden and the batter has set.

More Ways

For two cups of flour: 2 cups milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons melted butter, a teaspoon of baking powder and half a teaspoon of baking soda.
