- Pour 1 small ladle of batter on to the pan, you might need to slightly press the batter since it is little thick.
- Wait for the pancake to get cooked from the bottom, until the bubbles starts appearing on top.
- When the bubbles start to come on top of the pancake, gently flip the pancake, let it get cooked on the other side for about another minute. Once the pancake is cooked you can remove it from the pan and repeat the process for the next pancakes. Always adjust the heat of the stove in case the pan gets overheated.
