How to ensure that the Pancakes get cooked evenly?
The last time I made pancakes, while they were nicely cooked on the outside, they were still a bit "battery" in the middle. Does anyone has a simple solution to try?
Best Answer
You might try reducing the cooking heat a little, say on medium heat. That way, the middle will finish cooking without the outside being overcooked. And usually when you flip a pancake it should be almost entirely cooked through anyway. You want to flip when the bubbles are pretty set on the top.

How do you make sure pancakes are cooked all the way through?
If it's too hot, they'll go straight to burnt on the outside, raw and doughy on the inside. Stick to a medium heat and don't be afraid to adjust accordingly to get them golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.How long should pancakes cook on both sides?
Heat pan on medium for about 10 minutes. Pour batter to form pancakes of whatever size you like. Cook first side until bubbles form on top, about three minutes; then flip and cook other side until it, too, is brown, about two minutes. Serve immediately with butter and syrup or hold briefly in warm oven.How do you cook pancakes all the way through without burning them?
It might happen that your pancakes inevitably end up cooked on the outside but raw in the middle. On the odd occasion, they might even turn out a little mushy too. One easy way to verify if your pancake is still raw in the middle is to insert a wooden stick, like a tooth picker, right in its center.When to Flip Pancakes - Perfect Pancakes Every Time!

Answer 2
Reduce the heat a little. Make the mix thinner so you can use less of it and still have it spread to fill the pan: a thinner pancake will cook all the way through quicker.
