[blparent] making pancakes for toddler

[Robert Cole]

I am still a pancake novice right now, but my wife told me to pre-heat 
the burner/skillet before putting any batter in. I listen for the 
bubbles, but I also gently nudge the bottom edge of the pancake with my 
spatula. If it feels solid, it is pretty likely ready to flip.

If the skillet is pre-heated, I find that it takes one-and-a-half to two 
minutes for the first side to cook, and about one to one-and-a-half 
minutes or less for the other side to finish cooking. This could vary 
though.

I am just hoping to get better at this myself because my three-year-old 
loves his pancakes! <smile>
