Burnt pancakes.

[chesuto]

So I'm sitting here nearly in tears because I can't make pancakes.

I'm old. And I can't cook. So I decided hey. I should learn! But I can't make pancakes. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm following the instructions. But first they burnt immediately when I poured the batter in the pan, then when I tried not to cry and try again they just stuck to the pan and I gave up and just threw the whole mess away.

So now I have a ruined frying pan, so I can't have any dinner since the only food I have has to be cooked in a frying pan. It's too late to order delivery because I have to go to work before it would get here.

And now it's not nearly in tears anymore. God, I feel like such a failure.

The best thing to do with pancakes is cook them on the lowest setting possible to begin with. If you use too much heat, the outside burns before the inside finishes cooking. It can take forever cooking them on the lowest heat, but it helps until you're more comfortable with using moderate heat.

Or if all else fails, buy a waffle maker with a timer and make waffles instead of pancakes.
