Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides
