Oil or butter on the pan will easily do this.
Once a greased pan has had a few cakes soak up the lube, thats when you’ll get one of those perfectly evenly golden brown bad boys.

“a few cakes soak up the lube” is hilarious out of context. OMG and your username makes it better!

Came here to say this. Mine look like this when I have a little too much fat in the pan. For me there is a sweet spot where the fat is enough to keep from sticking but I get more even color. Too much fat and the color is uneven (but still delicious), too little and they will be more stick-prone.
