American pancake recipe that actually works?

[Whipple]

DD1 loves these for breakfast on holidays etc. She has an inset day on Thurs and has already asked for them.

The faff involved annoys me but not as much ending up with pancakes that are raw in the middle.

Everybloodytime.

I am tempted just to pick up some in the shop.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have a fail safe recipe?

Its definitely the heat of the pan that causing me the problems I think.

Its hard on electric stove to control the heat but I will have to get it hot and then leave it to cool.

The tip about the bubbles staying open is really helpful

Whipple, the bubbles thing is really good and works! I may have just had pancakes for my dinner after reading this
Another tip is (one passed down from my Nana who was always baking and made a damn good Scottish pancake, if I do say so myself) is the first one or two might be a bit rubbish, don't worry about them, they are like the 'tester' ones lol. And don't worry if the mixture is really thick and spreads out a bit. Don't be tempted to add more mix to that pancake, I use a small ladle, that is enough per pancake.
Good luck!

The thing about pancakes is that size matters: if you have big pancakes you have big pancakes. If you have small pancakes you have more pancakes. You can't lose.

I know this a zombie one but LordCopper your comment is just wonderful... guess what we’re having for breakfast 🥞
