the first pancake

when you make pancakes, the first pancake is always a tricky one — you’re not really sure how hot the griddle is, the look and timing of when to flip is a little hazy, and it always turns out a little over- or under-done.

not today. today i made the perfect first pancake.

The technique that I learned working as a part-time cook back in college is to watch the bubbles that form on the pancake - first they'll form and then when they begin to burst, it's time to flip the pancake.

Oh, preheating the pan is also good. And you don't have to turn it over when the first bubble bursts. I normally wait until between half and all of them are gone.
