Instructions

- Combine Wet Ingredients:

- Make Batter:

- Heat Skillet:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter.

- Serve:
- Transfer mini pancakes to a plate, repeat until batter is used, and serve in a bowl topped with maple syrup, berries, and a pat of butter if desired. Enjoy with a spoon.
