Heat 2-3 tablespoon oil in a cast-iron skillet/non-stick frying pan over medium high heat, then once the pan is hot, ladle pancake batter to the pan and spread evenly (about 1/4 of the total batter). After 30 seconds on medium high, reduce heat to medium, and once the edges look cook and more solid, flip the pancake to cook the other side, pressing lightly with a spatula to make the pancake crispy. Remove cooked pancake to a plate, and repeat the process for 3 more pancakes.
