Well I got called off from work today so I did pancakes again, this time cooked in butter, and I think they're the best ones I've made on this griddle so far. I didn't clarify the butter, i got lazy lol. The texture of the cakes did come out a little better. If I don't butter the griddle I'd usually put butter in the batter, but when I do butter the griddle I use oil in the batter instead, otherwise I think the pancakes come out too rich. Other tips I have are to use a good quality whole milk buttermilk, add in a few teaspoons of vanilla pudding mix, and also add in a few teaspoons of corn flour
