3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. 4. Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat and grease with oil.
5. Pour about 2 tablespoon of the pancake mixture onto the griddle, cook 2 minutes or until bubbles start forming on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

To Freeze: Allow to cool, place in a ziploc bag, label and freeze for up to 4 months. When ready, place in toaster oven or oven at 300 and heat for 10 minutes or until heated through. 

To Keep Warm: Place the pancakes in a 200F oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
