THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN MAKING THE PERFECT BOY SCOUT PANCAKE
Follow these directions only; do not follow your instincts
1 box – complete/just add water/pancake mix
Grease your griddle and then wipe it dry of all excess oil
Measure out mix for desired amount of pancakes per box direction
Add amount of water for that amount of pancake mix per box direction
Mix canola oil into batter (1 tablespoon per pint of batter)
Pour large soupspoon full of batter on preheated griddle
Wait for batter to form bubbles – turn pancake over
DO NOT MASH PANCAKE DOWN – it will raise up like bread dough
J. Take pancake off griddle and pour another (do not re-grease griddle)
K. Enjoy pancakes with syrup, jelly, peanut butter, etc
Trouble shooting your pancake disasters
Batter too thick – add water
Batter too thin – add more mix
Pancake too dark – turn down heat
Pancake too light – turn up heat
Pancake sticks – not enough oil in batter
Pancake thin and flat when taken off grill – don’t mash pancake down
Pancake greasy – too much oil in batter or griddle not wiped dry
Pancake raw inside – pancake not cooked long enough
Pancake raised, light, fluffy, and delicious – You follow directions
