Preheat lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance on the surface.
For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle and cook on first side until bubbles that form begin to pop and edges look dry.
With a spatula, turn and cook until second side is a rich, golden brown.
Serve at once with butter and syrup.
