Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used. You should have about 6-8 pancakes.
