3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Beat until a smooth batter is formed.
4. Take a large griddle (large, flat pan) and place over moderate heat.
5. Brush the griddle with vegetable oil. Use butter for max flavor.
6. Sprinkle a drop of water on the griddle, if it makes a crackling sound the pan is ready.
7. Use a cooking spoon to scoop the batter and pour slowly on the pan, making a V-shape. The shape spreads to form a heart.
