Brush a non-stick frying pan with the oil. Set over a medium heat and drop 4 large separate spoonfuls of batter into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping over and cooking for the same amount of time on the other side. The pancakes should be golden brown and cooked right through. Brush the pan in-between batches and repeat until you have 16 pancakes.
