Tips and tricks for the perfect pancake
Firstly, use a non-stick pan for these pancakes. It makes flipping them a whole lot easier. Secondly, keep the heat at medium. Too high, and the pancakes might burn before the cream cheese melts. Lastly, remember to be patient! Cooking is an art and every masterpiece needs time. Take it “slow and steady” and you’ll have a pancake stack that’s worth the wait. 🍽️
