Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet with oil and use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form and the pancakes are golden brown underneath. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Turn the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook through without burning the outsides.

Serve with maple syrup and pecans, if desired.
