egg, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well. 4.  In a large skillet, place some vegetable oil and heat until very hot. 5.  Add about one quarter cup of the batter- you should be able to fit 3 or 4 pancakes in a pan, but do not overload the pan and cram the pancakes too close together. 6.  Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to other side. 7.  Serve hot with sour cream and/or applesauce.
