Seasoned Advice Asked on March 31, 2021
I make keto pancakes out of a bought keto flour pancake mix (almond flour and cassava and coconut flours are main components). I mix these with either water or whole milk, making not too thick mixture, and cook on a cast iron pan with a pad of butter placed on heated pan first.
A problem I run into consistently is this: the first pancake cooks very well–well browned outside and cooked inside. But subsequent pancakes come out slightly burned outside while under-cooked inside.
I make sure to keep the pan on medium heat throughout and add butter in between pancakes in order to keep the pan well-greased. I make sure to turn pancake from one side to other when bubbles form. However, that doesn’t help it.
Is there something else I can do to make sure to have several pancakes in a row come out well-cooked inside and not burnt outside?
Give the pan longer to heat initially, but use a lower flame.
It sounds like the temperature is still evening out on the first one & has settled subsequently.
Alternatively, do the first as you normally do, but drop the temperature before the second goes in. 'Medium' is not really an accurate description, & every stove & every pan is different.

Your pan is getting too hot.
Cast iron has a lot of" thermal mass", which means that it takes a good bit of energy (and time) to heat up, then it holds on to that heat and takes time to cool down.
Most likely, your pan is still heating up when you cook your first pancake. It's at the right temperature, but still on the upswing and getting hotter. By the time you get to the other pancakes, the pan is too hot.
There are two easy solutions to try:
It'll take a little experimenting on your cooktop to find just the right adjustment of heat, but it should just be a matter of finding a slightly lower temperature.
