You want to cook your pancakes on a medium-low heat so that the batter is being cooked evenly. You will know when to flip the pancakes when you start to see bubbles pop up on the surface of the pancake. Take a spatula and carefully look under the pancake to see if it a light golden brown color and ready to flip. The bubbles are a good sign that they are getting ready to flip. Don’t press down on the pancake while it’s cooking in hopes that it will cook quicker! It’ll prevent the pancakes from being fluffy.
