Today we had to flip the perfect pancake. For me, this meant flipping a pancake in general. They gave the pancake recipe right in the book, which made it easy. I went downstairs early and made the mix but it was SO watery. My mom said to add more flour, so I did, but it was still too watery. I only wanted to flip a few in a pan and put the rest on the griddle because I didnt have time, but the pancakes were so runny that they just spread out onto the griddle. I was pretty mad so I filled up the pan really full and waited till it was ready to flip. They were the flattest pancakes I've ever seen so I was kind of mad until I tasted the griddle ones (while I was still waiting for my pan one to cook enough to flip). They tasted just like a rubberier version of my grandma's danish pancakes!! That's when I realized that this was originally a british book and so the recipe must have been for more of a crepe type of pancake. I ate them while I waited. Finally it was ready to flip. I pulled the pan off the stove, turned to the left, and went for it. AMAZINGLY, it flipped in the air, and landed in the pan!! the edge turned over on itself a bit, but who cares, it worked!! it was awesome. I guess I got too excited, because I proceeded to show off and do it again, and the pancake flipped onto the floor. But that is definitely beside the point.
I would call this task successful. I'm super happy I did it, especially since it ended up giving me a recipe close to my grandma's.
