A common mistake beginners make when cooking pancakes is flipping them too early. It's important to wait until the edges start to dry out before flipping. Otherwise, the pancake may fall apart or be undercooked on one side. Since these protein pancakes without protein powder don't bubble as much as regular pancakes, you can peak to see if the bottom looks golden brown before flipping. Additionally, it's important not to overcrowd the pan or griddle. This can lead to uneven cooking and make it difficult to flip the pancakes. Lastly, the heat of the pan or griddle can make a big difference when cooking pancakes. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes can burn on the outside and be raw on the inside. If the pan is too cool, the pancakes may not cook evenly or take too long to cook. It's important to find the right balance and heat the pan or griddle to medium heat, which is around 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit. You can test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water on the pan; if they sizzle and evaporate, the pan is ready.
