Repeat Continue scooping out fresh handfuls of sand and flattening them into pancakes. You will apply less downward pressure and spend more time jiggling the edges with each successive layer. Also, as you attain altitude, you will want to make each pancake slightly smaller than the one under it, so that the new pancake doesn't slop over the sides of the one being plopped upon.
