   • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges begin to look set, about 1-2 minutes.
   • Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

6. Enjoy!
