Why don't pancakes take shape?

Pancakes may not be shaped for the following reasons:

1. The batter is too thin: make sure your batter ratio is correct. The ratio of flour to water is usually 1:2 to 1:3. If the batter is too thin, the pancakes may not form.

2. Flour quality: Use high-gluten flour or whole wheat flour, which are more likely to form dough.

3. Insufficient fermentation time: The batter needs to be fermented for a while, so that the batter can be better blended together. Usually the fermentation time is between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the room temperature.

4. Water temperature: Use warm water or cold water, and avoid using hot water. Hot water will make the batter too thin and affect the molding.

5. The temperature of the pancake sub-pan: ensure that the pancake sub-pan is preheated to an appropriate temperature, generally between 175-200 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, batter will not form.

6. Coating of the pancake sub-pot: Use a non-stick pot, so that the pancake sub-pot can be better molded in the pot. If you use a coated pan, please make sure that the coating is intact, otherwise it may affect the formation of pancakes.

7. Timing of pouring the batter into the pot: When the temperature of the pot reaches a suitable level, pour the batter along the wall of the pot. Wait a few seconds, and then gently wipe the batter with a spatula. If the batter is poured into the pot too early, a uniform shell may not be formed.

8. Thickness of batter: Keep the thickness of batter moderate, neither too thin nor too thick. If the dough is too thin, it will crack easily, and if the dough is too thick, pancakes may not be formed.

9. Heat: control the heat and keep the medium and small fire. Too many fires may cause pancakes to fail to form.

10. turning time: when the bottom of the pancake begins to turn golden yellow, turn it gently with a spatula. Turning the pancake too early may cause the pancake to crack, and turning it too late may cause the pancake to be uncooked.

If the above methods still can't solve the problem, please check the pancake sub-pot for problems.
