is a good time to get your griddle nice and hot! but not too hot, like 300°f is good. if you’re making your pancakes on the stove i would suggest a cast iron skillet on medium low heat and an extra 3 hours to make all of the pancakes, kidding! just an extra 2 hours. use a 1/2 cup measuring device (i needed another word for cup) to ladle the batter onto the griddle, you can use more or less depending on the size you desire. i desire to have six fit on my griddle so i plan accordingly. they should take about 4 minutes a side but check them
