Add more milk if required ,the batter consistency should be like idli batter – thick and flowing .

VARIATION –

2. We can replace maida with wheat flour , texture may be different .
3. Baking powder has no ill effects ,so don’t worry and go ahead.
4. You can increase the sugar .
5. The pan should not be very hot else the edges will be curvy and it will burn fast . That is why we are wiping the pan with wet cloth .

8. For more fluffiness and the best pancake , add 1 beaten egg and increase the vanilla essence .
