How to make the perfect pancake!
This guide is to make the perfect pancake at Keenerville on the weekend. No matter what skill you have it is possible to make the perfect pancake so long as you have the materials and this guide. Now let’s begin.
Step 1:
Find some pancake mix. This powdery substance can usually be found somewhere in your kitchen. If you can't find it, ask nicely (or steal) some from another house.
Step 2:
Find a nice, non-stick pan that would be the perfect size for you pancake. A 7.75 inch diameter pan is ideal for the perfect pancake size.
Step 3:
Add just enough water to your pancake mix to make it a smooth pourable substance. If your pancake batter is too dry, it will taste like cement. If your pancake mix is too watery, it wont cook properly.
Step 4: Heat up your pan and lather it in a generous coating of butter. This will provide the nice golden crisp to the outside of your pancake. Too much butter and the pancake will be greasy. Too little and you risk not being able to flip it.
Step 5:
Drop the batter onto the pan and spread it evenly throughout. You don't want a lopsided pancake now would you?
Step 6:
Sift through a hard-drive to find a movie to watch while eating your pancake. This usually takes the amount of time the pancake needs to cook on one side. As soon as you find a movie of your liking, you are ready to flip the pancake.
Step 7:
THE FLIP. To complete the perfect flip, all previous steps must be done to near perfection. First you will have to loosen the pancake from the bottom of the pan. Once the pancake can slide around smoothly on the pan, it is time to pul it off the stove. Now you can practice the motion of the flip. NOW, you are ready! First toss the delicious treat up in the air using the pan and only the pan, only allowing just enough rotation for half a spin. If you are feeling good about your skill, a double flip might suit you better. When the pancake is on the way down, you have to cradle the pancake with the pan so that it does not splat and flatten out, as we do want the fluffiest pancake we can get. If you miss the pan, you will have to clean up and return to step one. If you successfully complete a single flip or greater, you can replace the pan on the stove and allow for the goldeying of the other side.
Step 8:
You now must set up your movie on the computer so that it is ready to watch as soon as your breakfast hits your plate. This also usually takes the amount of time that is needed for the pancake to turn a beautiful golden brown colour and perfect texture.
Step 9:
THE TRANSFER. There is a variety of ways the transfer can be made, my personal favourite is the double flip onto the plate, however you can just simply slide it onto the plate. You have successfully completed the transfer, congratulations on making it this far!
Step 10:
DRESS IT. You cant have a naked pancake, there must be some dressing wether it be fresh fruit, chocolate chips or simply pancake syrup. This will showcase your artistic skills and make it ready for a picture if needed.
Step 11:
DIG IN! You have a movie set up and you have your breakfast. You can now relax and watch your movie. Congratulations, you have just made the perfect pancake. Now you can relax away your weekend in hopes to be rejuvenated by Monday!
