Equipment:

Cast iron skillet or griddle

I prefer using a griddle and I recommend using it if you have one. This can fit over two burners and let’s you make at multiple pancakes at at time. If you don’t have griddle a cast iron skillet will work just fine but it will take more time.

Steps:

  1. Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl. Fold in dry ingredients.
  2. Set skillet or griddle on medium-low heat. Coat with oil.
  3. Measure ¼ cup batter. Fry 2-3 minutes per side. The pancake is ready to flip when bubbles start to form.
  4. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice (e.g. maple syrup, berries).
