8. Drop batter by about 1/4 cup into skillet.
9. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the bottoms are brown (about 2 minutes).
10. Using a spatula carefully turn the pancakes over and cook for about 2 minutes longer.
11. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
12. Repeat with any remaining batter adding in more butter as needed.

Yummo, these are great. I did a half batch using some leftover hot dog rolls. I made the mixture the night before so in the morning it was quite thick & I needed to add a little more liquid. I used light cream and Splenda and these were great to eat on their own without any toppings, lovely & flavourful. WE ate the leftovers cold with banana & maple and they were great too!
