    2. Heat the griddle or skillet until it is very hot. Film with shortening. Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle, making sure that when they spread out they measure less than three inches in diameter.When a few bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, turn and cook the second side briefly. Serve with maple syrup.
    • The batter will keep, refrigerated, for up to one week.
