• Wear old clothes when frying because you will smell like fried oil when you are finished.
• Use canola oil.
• Use nonstick skillets.
• Cook the pancakes on medium-high heat.
• Have a flat wire strainer nearby to collect any particles that stay in the oil; if the oil becomes too dirty, discard and begin again.
• Don't crowd the pan or the oil temperature will drop and the pancakes will be oily.
• Use a wide spatula to turn them.
• Make sure to place the pancakes on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
