temperature between the eggs an the melted butter, otherwise the butter will solidify at once.<\/li>\n<li>To cook the pancakes, <strong>be patient<\/strong>: you must make <strong>one at a time<\/strong> and the pan needs to be on <strong>low heat<\/strong> otherwise the pancakes will burn easily and remain raw inside.<\/li>\n<li>My suggestion is to <strong>prepare the batter at night and chill it until the morning<\/strong>: it will thicken a bit so that the pancakes will spread less in the pan and will come out \"taller\".<\/li>\n<li>Don't move or try to detach the pancake before time: <strong>flip it only when bubbles appear on its surface<\/strong> otherwise the cooking will not be uniform.<\/li>\n<li>When cooked, you can serve the pancakes with chocolate sauce, caramel, whipped cream or, of course, the classic <strong>maple syrup<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You can add any ingredients you like to the pancakes, some examples:\n<ul>\n<li>Apples, nuts and cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate chunks and dried cranberries<\/li>\n<li>Bananas + chocolate sauce and whipped cream<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamon, ginger + salted caramel sauce<\/li>\n<li>Fresh berries (e.g.
