      4. Lightly grease a skillet with butter or vegetable oil, and heat to medium.

      5. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter at a time to the heated pan, using the back of a spoon to spread batter out into 5-inch rounds.

      7. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

      8. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat and adding additional butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
