Pancakes: a thicker pancake with a different mixture

Useful to know

American-style pancakes are thicker than crepes and may rely on leavening and incorporated air. King Arthur’s Simply Perfect Pancakes includes beating the eggs and resting the batter before cooking. [1]

Do not spread the mixture as thinly as a crepe while expecting the same result. Thickness and setting time depend on consistency. For the first pancake, check the heat as directed instead of assuming hotter is better. Browning outside does not establish that the centre is cooked.
