Reminder:

1 Mix the batter until just combined, do not overmix to avoid activating the gluten.

2 Different brand of plain flour absorbs water differently, the thickness of batter made according to the above recipe might be different and you need to make some adjustment accordingly.

3 Just coat the cooking pan with a very thin layer of oil, if there is too much oil, the surface of pancakes will not look nice (You may skip this step if using non-stick pan).

4 The surface of first pancake is usually not that beautiful (the surface of pan has more oil), the following pancakes will have no problem.
