Accidentally figured out how to make that beautiful diner style pancake
Sorry if wrong sub but I’m really excited. I’ve spent my whole life unable to make that uniformly colored pancake like diners etc. Tried a whole bunch of stuff over the years that never worked. Accidentally did it tonight after forgetting to add oil/butter etc. to the pan because I was cooking hashbrowns, eggs and sausage and I’m really bad at multitasking. Please excuse that little folded corner. It’s not my instinct to photograph my food so this was the one and only pic I took lol. For the record, this was not a fluke. I made another 12 pancakes that looked exactly like this!
Edit: TLDR; the hack is add your batter straight to your pan/skillet whatever. No oil, butter, sprays etc. Also keep the heat low, as in 2-3 on an electric stove
