Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if needed.
About 3 minPour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form across the top and the edges begin to look set.
About 2 minFlip each pancake and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the second side is golden and the center is cooked through.
About 2 minServe warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
