Flipping pancakes like you're in a high-speed kitchen fight.
The key to flipping a pancake like a pro is to use a combination of finesse and brute force.
Start by holding the spatula with your dominant hand, wrist firm, like a ninja gripping their trusty katana.
Now, with a quick flick of the wrist, toss the pancake into the air.
The goal is to get the pancake to spin like a top, its surface a blur of batter.
When the pancake hits the skillet, it's time to flip, using the spatula as a paddle to guide it back onto the griddle.
A perfectly flipped pancake is a thing of beauty, but don't get too attached, it's just a pancake.
