How do you make them come out like this?

I've been using Bisquick pancake mix.

The first one always seems to come out looking like that, but they
also will if your heat is too high.

After your pan has heated and you're not re-greasing it with every
pancake, your pancakes will look like that too.

Maybe you need to use more butter/oil in the batter and less on the
pan... and turn down the heat a bit.

Agreed. He must have the heat too high.

IMO, that looks about right for a good pancake.

Pancakes are like kids. That's your standard first-born pancake - kind
of intense and on the rough side. There ain't nothing you can do about
that. The rest will come out pretty regular. For some reason, the last
one usually turns out to be the rotten apple of the bunch.

Having had only two kids, I will say that what you wrote is really
funny. IMO, last children aren't rotten but they do tend to be
spoiled. Hubby was the last of 5 but he also turned out to be the
best of the bunch.

Looks like the heat is too high. Turn the flame lower and let the pan
heat a bit longer. My first one often turns out pale rather than
overdone. Once you do get them just right, make not of the burner
setting so you can repeat it.

Best tasting pancakes are from scratch. Check out the Alton Brown
recipe and make a batch of the dry so you have it when needed.

'Zactly. Most folks put too much oil in the pan, so they end up
feeding the first batch to the dog. Oil the pan very lightly and
don't add more oil no matter how many batches, there should be enough
oil in the batter.

Make 100 pancakes. Select best looking 8. Make stack. Take Picture.
Done.

Actually, I LIKE the slightly overdone pancakes. Looks more like what mother made, The others look too thick and doughy. You prob. left em in tool long and/or pan was too hot.

You can save big bucks if you make your own batter from scratch. Buying Bisquick is a waste of money in my book.
