Lightly oil a large griddle or skillet (preferably non-stick). Heat skillet over medium heat. You can tell if your skillet or griddle is hot enough by flicking a drop or two of water on its surface. The water should skitter around and quickly evaporate if the pan is hot enough.

Spoon batter into hot oiled skillet, allowing about 3 tablespoons per pancake. Cook pancakes for about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Turn when bubbles form (see photo) and continue cooking until golden brown.

Serve immediately topped with jelly or keep warm on a baking sheet in a 200° F oven until all pancakes are cooked.
