Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with syrup or toppings of your choice.
