Cup of Yum
Cook the Griddle Cakes
- Test the griddle is hot enough: a few droplets of water should dance on the surface and disappear within a second or two.
- Pour batter onto the hot surface in 1/4 cup amounts per griddle cake using a ¼ cup measuring cup, spaced 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Let the pancakes cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the pancakes are golden brown underneath, about one minute.
- Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden, about for 30 to 60 seconds. (If in doubt, check the center of one cake is cooked through.)
- Remove to a wire rack until serving. Enjoy with optional maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
