  3. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Serving

Notes

These pancakes can be made ahead of time. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. For fluffier pancakes, mix ingredients gently and ensure baking powder is fresh.
