  • Cover the pancake batter with a large dish towel and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place a large cast iron skillet over low-medium heat and add two tablespoons of melted butter, or use canola or vegetable oil. When the skillet is hot add two and a half (2 1/2) tablespoons of pancake batter, use a spoon to spread the batter into a circle.
  • Watch the pancake closely, when small air bubbles start to appear on the surface flip the pancake over, cook until golden brown. When finished add a bit of melted butter and store pancakes in a warm oven until they're all done.
  • Add your favorite topping, like yogurt and fruit or the traditional maple syrup.
  • Serve and enjoy.
