has posted a video to YouTube with an interesting hack for how to cook a perfect pancake every time.
Although they are using a special pancake skillet, the same effect could probably be achieved with a clean frying pan, if you want to give it a try at home.

Once it has cooked to perfection, the pan can simply be flipped over again and the pancake then slide onto a plate.
This ensure that all the pancakes are even sized, evenly cooked, and perfectly round.
