On an electric stove, it's best to cook pancakes at medium heat, which typically corresponds to a setting between 4 and 6 on your stove's dial. The exact temperature can vary depending on your specific stove, but aim for around 375°F (190°C) if your stove shows temperature. Always preheat the pan for a few minutes before adding the batter, and adjust the temperature as needed if the pancakes are cooking too quickly or slowly.
