Judy, if they look a little burnt, you probably have your pan just a little too hot. Heat it up good before the first pancake. Flick a few drops of water onto the griddle surface with your fingertips. If they "skip" around before they evaporate then it's hot enough; if they just evaporate with no skipping, it's too hot, and if they just sit there and sizzle, it's not hot enough.
With all that oil you're using, they should end up with just a nice crispy brown crust, no burning, if you get the temp right. I love pancakes!!
