Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter until the pancake is about 1/2 inch thick, I was able to make 3 at a time

Step 9

Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, my frying pan is larger than the largest burner, so I also rotated them half way through each side to keep the middle from cooking and the outside edge from not getting dark enough
