Rachel says:
1. Make sure to lightly grease your pan and remove any excess fat with a paper towel.
2. Don't worry about the first or second pancake coming out funny. They always do!
3. Warm up your pan slowly until you have a medium hot heat.
4. Use a spatula to loosen the pancake before flipping it.
5. Flip the pancake when you the surface is matt and the edges begin to brown.
And voilà! Perfect pancakes every time!
