Over very low heat, lightly grease a heavy bottom nonstick pan. Using a standard ice cream scoop, scoop out batter leaving 1-2 inches in between. Scoop more batter and place on top of first scoop. Cover and cook for 2-5 minutes. Drop water in very small amounts on the side of the pan to create steam and cook the top portion of the hotcakes. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until sides are almost set and the bottom is lightly brown.

Flip gently to cook the other side. Continue procedure until all hotcake batter is consumed.

Serve immediately with softened butter and syrup. Best served with fresh fruits or breakfast meats (optional)
