Pancake Flipping with Cooking Spatulas

Pancakes are a delicious breakfast food. Unless you hate good foods or eat no carbs, there’s no way you can’t like pancakes. They’re not an especially common breakfast food because they take a little while to make, but sometimes you are just in the mood for pancakes!

Pancakes aren’t exactly known to be the easiest and fastest breakfast to make. Other choices like cereal or oatmeal, or even eggs, are faster. You don’t have as many steps involved. Pancakes mean you have to make some batter, pour it on the pan, let it cook, flip, cook some more, and then you’re finally ready and left with a big mess, too.

While pancakes aren’t too hard to cook up, if you want them to actually resemble pancakes, you need to know how to correctly and effectively flip them. If you flip them wrong, you might end up with a mess of pancake that just doesn’t look right. Get the flip down and you will get what you know as a pancake.

Now that you want to know how to flip pancakes, you need to make sure you have the right tools. Of course, most importantly you will need something to flip it with. You should use some sort of cooking spatula or turner. Use basically the same thing you use to flip burgers.

First, get the batter on the pan. Don’t make the pancakes too big or they will be hard to flip. Make them about 6 inches in diameter at most. Make sure they are ready to flip. They should have tiny bubbles formed along the top and this should take about a minute.

When they are cooked and ready to flip, start by sliding the spatula under the pancake. Do this quickly so that you don’t mess the pancake or any surrounding pancakes. Put the edge of the turner to the side of where the pancake will be after first lifting it up. Flip it over and let it cook for about another minute before removing from the griddle.
