How to make perfect pancakes

I make pancakes for my family just about every weekend, and they're darn good, if I do say so myself. For the complete post, please visit amyeverafter.com/how-to-make-perfect-pancakes/

If you buy from one of my links, I might make a commission.

UPDATE: I've had a lot of questions about which griddle I was using. Unfortunately, I haven't had that griddle for a long time and don't remember! But I do remember that I paid about $25 or $30 for it, probably 20 years ago (2000-ish). Prices have gone up a bit since then, but this one is affordable and has similar features to my old one, and is a brand I trust: amzn.to/2DozHRx

I now have this griddle, which is more expensive but also a lot more versatile: amzn.to/38EHN4b (there's also a newer version: amzn.to/3fd46jE).

But my kids are older now, I'm on Weight Watchers, and I'm no longer making huge pancake breakfasts on weekends. Usually it's just my son wanting a few, and that's hardly worth pulling out the griddle. So, I use a pan. I have this set: amzn.to/3iKrDdW

The larger pan can make a good-sized pancake. I make sure to keep the temperature right around 400 degrees F using a laser thermometer: amzn.to/2O4jLGh

I've also used pans like these, and as long as I have my laser thermometer and let them preheat for at least 10 minutes to make sure the temperature is stable, they work great!
