MAKING YOUR BATTER
You can use a variety of different batter recipes for the PancakeBot. Here are a few
tips to keep in mind when making batter:
•
The batter MUST be clump free so that it doesn’t clog the nozzle. We
recommend running the batter through a fine mesh strainer before pouring it
into the Dispenser Bottle.
•
For better results, add a little more liquid than is called for in the recipe for
a thinner batter.
•
You can make recipes from scratch or buy pre-made batter that only requires
you to add water.
Here is one of the recipes we tested that worked great for us!

FLIPPING YOUR PANCAKE
The final results of the pancake are revealed after you flip the Pancake.
1.
Wait for the PancakeBot to finish printing and for the Gantry to move back
into the starting position. Depending on the temperature of the Griddle, wait
about 30 seconds to a minute to allow the lightest shade of the batter to cook
through.
2.
Use a wide spatula to loosen all sides of the pancake. Then slide the spatula all
the way underneath the pancake to flip. If you cannot easily slide your spatula
under the pancake, wait a few more seconds for the pancake to cook further.
3.
Gently flip your pancake. Be careful when flipping that you do not splatter any
uncooked pancake batter across the Griddle.
Note:
The different shades on your final pancake are the result of different cooking
times on the Griddle. The longer the batter is on the Griddle, the darker the
pancake will be. It may take some time to get acquainted with how long to leave
your pancake cooking and at what temperature your pancake cooks best.
