7 Ways You Might Be Messing Up Your Sunday Pancakes

Mistake: You pour oil directly in the pan

Even with the most diligent of swirling, it’s nearly impossible to get the pan evenly covered in oil.

This prevents uneven spreading, which will give you golden-brown pancakes with no gooey pockets. If you don’t have a brush, a folded paper towel will also do the trick (make sure the pan is not hot).
