Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or a little butter.
Pour a ¼ cup of the batter into the heated skillet. Fit 2 or 3 in pan if possible.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is turned light brown and bubbles appear in the batter
With a spatula, flip each pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from skillet place on a plate.
Repeat with additional batter.
Serve topped with butter, whipped cream, and/or maple syrup.
