Instructions

- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the pancake is cooked through.
- Serve warm with melted butter and syrup.
- Made about 12 pancakes that were 6” in diameter.
- Wrap any leftover pancakes in plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm leftovers in the microwave. You can also freeze pancakes for up to 2 months.
