Pancakes are one of those foods that I just eat and don't make. (lol)

Pancakes are my favorite breakfast. I can stir up the batter, but my
problem is timing them, and turning them. Any suggestions? Now I just
substitute frozen waffles, life is always a compromise. right?

I used to have lots of trouble with pancakes. I either didn't cook them
with
enough oil so that they stuck to the pan and didn't turn correctly, or I
tried to turn them too early and made an equally terrible mess of them.
Now
I wait until all the bubbles go away on top, and they are almost dry but
not
quite. Then the spatula slides under nicely and they turn correctly. If I
haven't made them for a while though it may take two or three to get back
into the groove. The other thing is that I need to keep the heat lower
than
my sighted friends or I tend to make burnt offerings. If there is a
sighted
person around, if they are willing I let them cook the pancakes. I am not
above buying frozen pancakes and heating them in the microwave. By the
time
I make a batch from raw dough, I have too many for one and have to freeze
some of them anyway, refrigerate them, or feed them to the birds in my
back
yard. When growing up it was feed them to the chickens, and other farm
animals. Back then it was sour dough pancakes, which I love but have not
kept an ongoing starter for years for lack of use. There are not enough
people in my household to do that anymore, but one of these days I will
begin a new starter. The temptation is growing just like the yeast does.

This has not come up as a problem here, but respect for everyone is so
important. I'm a pretty experienced cook for example, but there are
things
I just don't do well. I don't even try to accurately measure small
amounts
of liquid, like vanilla, anymore. I just pour over my finger and hope it
isn't too much. I have never successfully made pancakes, one of the first
things that rehab teachers teach. But I bake yeast breads, grow sprouts
and
microgreens, and always get called on to make the Thanksgiving dressing.
So
there are some things I do pretty well and some, well, not so much. Are
we
all that way? Maybe we are just here to support and help each other out.

Cooking in the Dark List Guidelines:
1. Keep messages on the topic of cooking.
This is not a social list...it is a cooking list.
2. Change subject lines to reflect the body of the message.
3. Avoid sending short, meaningless messages. Examples follow:
"Thanks for the recipe"
"This sounds good"
"Me too"
Messages like this clutter up the list and greatly increase the time it
takes to read through posted messages.
If you want to thank someone for a recipe please do so off list.
4. Please do not post more than 8 recipes in a day.
You take the time to post them, so make sure that they get read.
Bombarding
the list with 10 to 20 recipes will ensure that many are deleted instead
of
read.
Imagine if every list member posted over 20 recipes each day...that would
result in over 7,000 messages in a day!
5. Questions, comments, complaints, and requests for assistance should be
directed to the list owner or the list moderators for proper handling.
6. Off Topic notices or solicitations must be sent to the list owner for
approval and posting to the list. Failure to do this may result in
suspension
or removal from the Cooking in the Dark list.
7. Be respectful of everyone on the list...no flaming will be tolerated.
There are no stupid questions since everyone cooks at a different level.
