Directions

  1. Spray 2 (3×2-1/8-inch) metal rings with nonstick spray. Place the molds in the skillet. Pour pancake batter into each mold. Pour 1/4 cup water into the skillet. 

  2. Cover; cook the pancakes until tops spring back when lightly touched. 

  3. Flip each pancake and ring by gently sliding a spatula under each pancake. Use an oven mitt to help steady the hot ring as you flip it.
