4. Flipping too early — wait until edges are set and golden.

Required Equipment

• Non-stick skillet — prevents sticking and ensures even browning.
• Mixing bowl — allows smooth, lump-free batter mixing.
• Spatula — helps gently flip delicate pancake bites.
• Measuring cups & spoons — keeps carbs and portions accurate.
