Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 To All, My name is Alan and I am a mere 2 days into the transition from GFCFSF to the SCD for my son Evan (5 yrs old). Thus far, I am very encouraged with the amount of pertinent information I have read in this group. BTVC was very informative and has helped ease our transition tremendously, thus reducing stress. And being an air traffic controller...I don't need any more stress in my life!! Anyhow, I wanted to draw upon the experiences in this group to see if anyone could help me address a little issue I ran into today. I tried to make my first batch of golden pancakes from the recipe contained within BTVC, but it didn't go as well as I had hoped. They were impossible to flip and would get overcooked on one side while I was trying to flip them. HELP!!!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi, Alan, I remember those days of crumbled and gooey pancakes. Make the pancakes really small for easy turning. Use lots and lots of oil on your griddle, reapplying it for each pancake. Possibly experiment with your heat setting. After a while you will develop an instinct for how to do this and you will be able to make bigger pancakes and use *a little* less oil. mom to --12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Here is what we do to make delicious pancakes using that recipe: * very low temp (we have a gas stove so temp adjusting is easy - some people on here have recommended an electric griddle) * small / thin pancakes * Ghee to " grease " the skillet - then I wipe the skillet with a paper towel between every couple of batches then regrease. - don't feel bad we burnt several batches before figuring this out - I think the low temp & smaller pancakes were the keys for us.
