and gradually whisk in the liquid mixture, stirring just until combined.

large non-stick skillet over medium low heat. When hot, coat it lightly
with non-stick cooking spray. Drop 3 to 4 pancakes, using about 1 1/2
tablespoons batter per pancake, into the pan and cook until the underside
is browned and the bubbles on top remain open, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn the
pancakes over and cook until the underside is browned, about 15 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Arrange the pancakes on dessert plates.
