Cook the pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
