Take a peak and see if the bottom is well golden browned by lifting the pancake slightly with a flat spatula. If its looking good, then slide the spatula all the way under the pancake and carefully flip to the other side. (If the pancake is too flimsy to lift, then it needs to stay longer on the skillet) Cook for another minute or until the other side is golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
