The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.

Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet.

• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.
