Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter if needed.
Pour about 1/8 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated surface.
