Using a Cooking Spatula to Flip Pancakes

By Roger D. Romen

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!

It usually takes longer to make pancakes than it does other breakfasts. For example, cereal is as simple as pouring it from a box into a bowl and then pouring milk over the cereal. Then your all set to eat. With pancakes, you have to make batter, pour it onto a griddle to form pancakes, cook, flip, cook some more, and serve it.

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, pour out the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Make them a good size, not too big, not too small. If they are too big, they will be very difficult to flip. It really doesn't make a difference if they are too small. They will be ready to turn when tiny bubbles for across the top which will 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.
