FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 3, 2011 -- In a bid to help families across the UK have as much fun as possible this Pancake Day, Betty Crocker has been working with super ‘stunt mum’ Kati to create the ultimate guide to the perfect pancake flip.

Ed Culf, Marketing Director at General Mills said: “Betty Crocker is on a mission to help families get the most out of Pancake Day by creating the Ultimate Pancake Flipping Tips,so mums and dads can wow the kids so there’ll be smiles all around.”

Betty Crocker’s Ultimate Pancake Flipping Tips:

1) The Pour

So, it’s Pancake Day and you’re ready to become a flipping pro! Let’s get started. Pour your pancake mix into a lightly greased, non-stick frying pan, and move onto a medium heat. Slowly twist the pan from side to side, ensuring that the mix evenly fills the flat bottom – without running up the sides…

2) The Grip

Now, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the handle firmly with one hand. Make sure you have lots of room in all directions! When you can see the pancake is starting to cook around the edges, remove the pan and step back from the hob…

3) The Slide

It’s nearly flippin’ time! Gently slide your now-cooked pancake back and forth in the pan to make sure it’s not sticking. Brace yourself…Here we go!

4) The Flip

As the pancake touches the far side of the frying pan, use your wrist only to quickly flick the pancake directly upwards - see how it soars majestically through the air! The trick is to keep your eye on the pancake at all times.

5) The Catch

Stand firm and remain calm! Your pancake should now easily slap back into the frying pan, and you can breathe a sigh of relief as your family bursts into applause. Feeling confident and ready to turn it up a notch? Steady yourself and repeat The Flip step with more gusto, flipping higher and higher and catching the pancake as gracefully as possible. Hear those impressed oohs and ahhs? Well done.
