Another key to making a great pancake is frying them on the first side just until bubbles appear and the edges begin to set. Flip them as soon as you can get the spatula under the pancake. All it takes is a bit of practice and you will be turning out great pancakes.

As far as whether you need to double this recipe; figure about two pancakes per person for most people, three to four per person if you have some hungry guys in the house.
