- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium-high heat. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake.
- Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to dry out, typically taking 2 to 3 minutes.
- Once bubbles appear, gently flip the pancakes and continue cooking until the underside is golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve them warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
- Delight in the fluffy texture and irresistible flavor of these homemade pancakes as you savor each bite.
