Griddle (and Skillet) Temp for Pancakes and How to Prevent Sticking

There are few key steps to follow in order to make sure your pancakes don’t stick: Use a nonstick or well-seasoned griddle or skillet. I’ve found that my pancakes don’t stick if cooked on a nonstick surface, or one that’s well seasoned (like cast iron). Lightly grease before heating. Lightly grease your griddle when it’s cold, before preheating. Use a neutral oil (grapeseed, canola or vegetable). Don’t use butter at this point – it could burn. (Note: if you are using a seasoned cast iron skillet, you can skip this step.) Preheat. Preheat griddle or skillet to medium-high (375 degrees). Reduce heat and grease again. Once hot, reduce heat to medium (350 degrees) and lightly grease again. At this point, you can use oil or butter. Clean between batches. Wipe off the skillet or griddle between batches and lightly oil/butter again before adding batter for the next batch. When to Flip Pancakes Now, when is the best time to flip those pancakes over?
