Once you have the fluffy no-butter pancake batter ready, you will need to heat a non-stick pan or griddle. We need the pan to be hot, but we don't want it to be too hot otherwise it can burn the pancakes. Since we are not using butter, we will use the oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan. This way, you can flip them easily while still getting an even cook on both sides. If you don't use a non-stick pan, it will be much more difficult to flip them.

How big your fluffy American pancakes are will depend on how big you want them to be. Use as much batter as you want for the size you like. You can make smaller ones if you want a stack, but make sure you pour out the batter evenly. At medium heat, you should be able to cook these for about 2 minutes each side. To know just when to flip, check to see when the bubble start appearing on the exposed side.
