Step 11
Pancake batter can be piped onto the skillet using a pastry bag. This way you will get even pancakes of uniform size. To do this, after mixing, transfer the batter into a pastry bag. When the bag is full, squeeze out the excess air. Twist the bag 5–6 times and secure it with a clip.

Step 12
Before portioning the batter onto the skillet, cut off the tip of the piping bag. Press the batter from above while holding the piping bag from below. When you have finished squeezing out the desired portion, simultaneously stop pressing with one hand and lift the tip of the bag with the other so the batter stops flowing out.
