Discovery!
By accident, I found out that if you cook pancakes by covering the pan and cooking the top by steam, you get a sort of crumpet/cakey effect that when spread with nutella is dazzling. This experiment must be repeated. Also, this works when you have no oil and so the pancakes will stick to the pan anyway, but this cooks the top which was the situation I was in. So, I'm going to try it again soon.
