I do the same thing. I usually use a 1/3 cup measure, and I also use a timer to decide when to turn -- 3 minutes is just about right with 1 minute or less on the second side.
Oven pancakes are also a great solution (but they are different from the griddle-cooked kind).

Yes, fwop is what I call the wet sound. Never tried the squeeze bottle, but will have to try it.

If they made a wet sound, they were not ready.You can put the pancake batter in a washed out squeeze bottle, like a ketchup bottle, to make them easier to get in the pan or on the griddle.Renee Man CVRT/COMS > From: <mailto:Lori@xxxxxxxxxxxx>Lori@xxxxxxxxxxxx > To: <mailto:lasmith@xxxxxxxxx>lasmith@xxxxxxxxx> CC: <mailto:visionrehabtherapist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>visionrehabtherapist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Re: Making Pancakes > Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:07:10 -0400 > > Practice the skill of determining whether they are ready to turn or not by> sound and feel through the spatula with only one in the pan.
