Pancake flipping technique?

[KirstyD]

What's your technique?

I couldn't wait till Tuesday and had to make some pancakes tonight, i am proper bad at flipping them though, one ended up in pieces on the hob!

I lovvvveee pancakes yummmmm!

Im not sure i have a technique as such i tend to just flip it and it will end up in a heap in the pan

i just launch it and see what happens.....usualy a rank undercooked mess

Slide it to the front adn then flip, probs will still be a mess but it's worth a go

According to my DD I am a 'champion tosser'.... I'm pretty certain she meant it in the pancake flipping way......

I don't even attempt it until when you jiggle the pan the whole pancake moves around. Then you know it's cooked on that side.

Then I tilt the pan down until almost half is hanging off the end....(this is harder to explain then I thought it would be lol) and then you just flip.

I have tried doing it just with a flat pan but it's impossible! It's the tilted bit that seems to make it work. I have shown friends and they now do it this way but it sounds rubbish advice when written down sorry!

Ive never even attempted to flip a pancake. Might try on Tuesday. Hmmmm

 

[Laura_James&Amber]

Toss it and hope for the best! lol

This is what I normally do, just never goes quite right!!

Mmmm, pancakes. Nom nom nom.

As for technique, simply ensure that the pancake is sliding around freely and is properly done on the underside and then toss. Do the toss quickly with a determined flick of the wrist and 9 times out of 10 it lands well, in my experience
