i dont see how pancakes can crumble, but if your talking about them getting burnt then i sggest you use a spray on oil in a can. i regularly do not use this type of il because its not very healthy, so do not use that much on the pan. your problem might be the typr of pan youy use as well, try for a thin black metal or any other type of thin pan.

One reason pancakes can turn out flat and not fluffy is if there is a problem with the leavening agent, typically baking powder. Assuming the amount in the recipe was properly measured, the baking powder may be inactive. Test the baking powder by taking a spoonful of it and dropping vinegar on it; carbon dioxide gas should bubble out of the mixture upon contact. If the bubbling is slow or non-existent, the baking powder is inactive.

From my experimentation with making pancakes, milk is a vital ingredient in making them fluffy, and so is extra flour. (Use sugar to balance the flavor of the flour). If you want them to be like crepes use water instead, and only egg white.

1) You did not use enough baking powder/baking soda.

2) You beat the batter too long.

3) You used really old, old (watery) eggs.

How did Charles Darwin accomplish the evolution theory?

Pancakes taste good because they are fluffy, and the narrator says he likes fluffy things so he must like dogs because they bark. The dog barking makes the pancakes fluffy, which in turn makes the narrator like children because they cry. The child crying makes the dog bark, which in turn makes the narrator like men because they comfort their babies. The man caring for their babies make pancakes because the baby cries then the dog barks then the pancakes fluff. That is the theory of evolution.

I have no idea! I am a Christian and we don't do anything with pancakes on Easter. Maybe it's a family tradition to eat pancakes. Or maybe the Jews make them unleven and eat them at Passover during easter.
