Tips

• As a substitute for using oil to grease the pan, try butter, margarine, or cooking spray.
• Try using a dry measuring cup with a spout to measure the 1/4 cup of batter needed for each pancake. This will create uniform pancakes, and be less messy than trying to pour from the larger mixing bowl.
• Using the above amounts will make enough for about two people.
• Just double, triple, or quadruple the recipe ingredients if you need to feed more people.
• Serve with fruit.

Warnings

• Skillet will be hot, so this recipe should not be followed by children without adult supervision.
• Over-beating the pancake batter can result in tough pancakes that aren't fluffy. Make sure to only mix enough to get the ingredients together.
