Though once when we were kids, my sister and I came down to Sunday breakfast late, saw some brown liquid on the stove and assumed it was syrup; we poured it on our pancakes only to find that our parents had been reheating their coffee.

And don’t make the pan too hot; you want it hot enough that water droplets dance on the surface, but not so hot that they evaporate right away. When the edges start to dry and the middle starts to form bubbles, it’s time to flip.

Of course, if the middles are still underdone, you can pop them in the microwave for a little bit to finish them off. At least with a vegan recipe, you don’t have to worry about salmonella from undercooked eggs.
