Cooking the Griddle Cakes
- 4
Heat the Griddle
Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray if desired.

Cook the Cakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each cake. If using, sprinkle blueberries or chocolate chips on top of the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the cakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the griddle and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
