Hi, guys! Let me give you the most delicious recipe for fluffy thick pancakes which is so, so simple.
First of all, put a pan onto a medium heat.
Into a bowl put one mug of milk, one mug of self-raising flour (white or wholemeal) and one lovely free-range egg.
One pinch of sea salt and give a good whisk. And it will be a fairly thick, light batter.
Lightly rub a pan with just a little butter and then pour in enough batter to the size of the pancake that you want.
When the batter is cooked around the edge and little holes have come to the surface of the pancake, have a little look under the pancake. On the count of three a nice confident flip.
As soon as it's turned, it's nice to give another little rub with butter and after one minute you will have a beautiful, fluffy, gorgeous pancake ready to be taken sweet or savoury.
So there you go, guys. That is a foolproof pancake recipe.

Hi Rafaela1
There are different varieties of pancakes and yes, some are quite similar to crepes. The ones that are common in the US, which are more or less like the ones in this video, are fluffier than others that many British people make. Did you know that there is a Pancake Day in the UK? If you follow the link, you can read about the pancakes people make on that day -- these ones are very similar to crepes.

Hello Rafaela1
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that phrase. You can 'hit someone in the eyes', or perhaps 'between the eyes', but 'hit the eyes' is not something I've read or heard in common usage. I suppose it could mean the same thing -- or, more likely, something metaphorical, but I'm not sure what.
