The higher the pancake is, the lower the heat should be used so that it cooks evenly.

Notes
- (*)If we beat the mixture too much we will produce more gluten and the dough will be less airy and less fluffy. These small lumps act as air containers that will leave small gaps in the dough.
- The amounts of flour and milk can vary depending on several factors.
It is therefore important to observe the texture of the mixture. It should be thick enough not to spread too much when put into the pan. - A good option is to use a small pan. This way all the pancakes will come out the same size, the size of the pan.
