Consider butter instead of oil for pancakes. The water content of the butter boils between the pancake and the pan. The escaping water vapor pushes them apart, which helps prevent the pancake from sticking.

I don’t use oil at all for pancakes. Just cook them in a dry pan. That’s the only way to get the perfect even golden brown
Butter also adds awesome taste to them :)
