Cooking the pancakes
Preheat your hot plate or frying pan over a medium heat whilst the batter rests. Turn it down to medium low a few minutes before the batter is ready.
Use a ¼ cup measure to scoop the mixture onto the preheated hot plate or pan.
Cook on medium low heat for 2 ½ mins until set at the edges and golden on the underside. You might see some bubbles on top of the pancake too. Flip and cook for another ten seconds.
Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven whilst using the rest of the batter to make all 10 pancakes.
