And the best way to make sure I don’t give in to fast food and unhealthy meals throughout the day is by starting with a healthy breakfast.

Step 6: Now heat a flat nonstick pan. Once hot, splash some water on it and wipe it with a kitchen towel. Do this before making every pancake. This is to reduce the surface temperature of the pan so that the batter doesn’t immediately stick to it.

Now, spread a little of the batter on the pan. Cook till one side is half cooked, sprinkle a little oil and then cook on both sides.
