I use a Cuisinart pancake / waffle maker and it is very accessible. It can make 4 waffles or pancakes at a time. I got it on amazon. Johna

Let it sit for about 3 minutes. Slide your turner under. If it doesn't go easily, it is not cooked enough or it is stuck because of not enough butter. It should lift easily and you can flip it in place. The second side only takes 30 to 40 seconds. Most of the reason for pancakes that break apart as you turn them is that you tried too early. The top should be almost dry with just a few bubbles left on the top. If there is a lot of liquid on top, don't try to turn it yet. If it smells like it is starting to burn but isn't ready to turn, your heat is up too high. It takes practice, but you can do this with time and patience, and lots of practice and errors along the way. Then one day, it will just work for you. As for getting them round, they might stay round if you use a third or half cup measure to pour from and keep your hand steady as you pour. If you have problems your batter might need to be made thinner or thicker. I like thinner better, making thinner pancakes, but that's just me. If I had my way, all pancakes would resemble crepes in nature. But thicker ones might be easier to flip if you have enough patience to wait for them to cook enough first. Good luck, and have fun.

However, I thought I would make pancakes. So I did. Now, I've seen YouTube vids where folks use milk, egg and butter, some use water. What's the difference between using either or? Also, how can I get the pancakes to be in a circle when I'm done? Let's say I'd like to make multiple pancakes. The one pancake I made today just collapsed when trying to flip them over. Thank you for any thoughts.
