progress update on project "blueberry pancake"

[ratcreature]

Keeping the comments and advice on my last post on this topic in mind, I tried to make blueberry pancakes again this morning. (Pancakes tend to be my Sunday morning breakfast treat

Hmmm. I've never tried any of this, but when you cook the pancakes do you put a lid on the pan? I was thinking, after the bottom is semi-cooked, when you add the berries and then add the top layer, put a lid on the pan so the top layer cooks just a little before you flip?

No, I never use a lid for pancakes and have never heard anyone doing that either. I mean, like classically you make them on a griddle, no? (I use a pan because I don't have a griddle, but still.) With a lid there would be condensation dropping into the pan, and that would be worse, similar to the effect of the blueberries bursting and making things soggy. By the time I flip pancake, the top layer is somewhat firm anyway, just not browned yet, otherwise flipping them would be a nightmare with the pancake batter dripping all over the place no?
