Only trick I know to pancake making and it's not art, is that the first pancake never works in my pan. Usually have to throw that one out and then all the rest work just fine. I think the trick is to have a good pan.
Next time I make pancakes I'll make a George Harrison. My fave.
Funny how these trends work. A while ago it was the vegetable art. Making lotus flowers out of carrots and things like that. I have fancied up some salads in my time by making slits in radish and dipping them in icy water. Same with the celery. These days I don't bother. lol What does that tell you?!
