In a nonstick pan, heat some oil over medium-low heat and fry one side of the pancake for about 3 minutes. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 3 minutes. Add a small splash of water into the pan to cook the pancakes better. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Then serve and enjoy whilst hot!
