  5. 5

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  6. 6

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto skillet for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface.

Chef's tip

For an extra-fluffy texture, allow the batter to rest before cooking. Ensure your skillet is at the right temperature to achieve a perfect golden-brown finish.
