Cook

1. 9

   Melt ½ to 1 Tablespoon butter onto an electric skillet (depending on its size). Use ¼ cup measuring cup to portion out the pancake batter. Carefully pour it onto the prepared griddle or skillet. (I cook 4-6 pancakes at once on my griddle).

2. 10

   Cook on the first side until the batter begins to bubble and becomes set around the edges (about 3-5 minutes).
