Add the dry ingredients into the wet.

Mix to fully incorporate.

Pour or ladle small amount of batter into a cooking sprayed hot skillet over medium to medium high heat. The trick to pancakes is you don’t flip them until they start to bubble and become golden brown on surface adjacent to the pan.

Flip and allow to cook fully on other side.

Remove finished pancakes, set aside.
Repeat process with remaining batter.
