5. Coat the preheated skillet thoroughly with a stick of butter.
6. Portion about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to set.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown and cooked through, lowering the heat and re-buttering the skillet between batches if necessary.
8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
