I try to follow recipes precisely (just like I followed the instrictions precisely in chemistry class), unless I'm in the mood to experiment at changing the recipe. Using more liquid or less flour than specified in recipe for pancakes sometimes results in thinner pancakes that might turnout undercooked inside, while crispy on the outside. At least that has been my experience.
