a call from several who took pity on my plight they gave me several hints on flapping the flapjacks in easier fashion and just in case you are plagued with the same complications as j when you make a batch here are some of the rtcon mendations first of all a little melted short tening in with the batter helps to keep it from sticking to the pan the most important thing however is not to have the pan too hot it is gener ally surmised and i agree that this is where i make my big mistake ano ther thing which helps the pancakes not to stick and is easier to control than melted shortening which melts and runs into the very cracks and cce vices where you don t want it to 4s to spear a piece of suet with a fork and rub it over the pan my friend in need pointed out that this was a cul mary trick of her grandmothers and while we do not customarily have pic ces of suet around like they did in olden days yet when a person knows they arc going to cook pancakes on a certain day it would certainly be worth while to buy a piece of suet for the occasion and if it helps to avoid even some of the troubles i have cook inf pancakes i saj amen and thank jou there were two other suggestions wh eh miht find merit with ou they c mcernid the nature of equipment us el a regular pancake griddle is the thing to use to eliminate the sti ckinj tr ihles ir and this sounds like a really attractive
