Although having a griddle makes whipping up a batch of pancakes a breeze, it’s not a requirement. You can indeed make pancakes without a griddle--and you’ve got plenty of options at your disposal! The easiest is to grab a frying pan and prepare your pancakes this way. Remember that frying pans are smaller, which is a downside to this strategy. You’ll probably have to make several batches, even if your pancakes are on the smaller side. Of course, you can also use a cookie sheet on your stovetop. But another simple pancake method is to use your baking sheet in the oven. That’s right–you can “bake” pancakes! Preheat your oven to 425F, add the batter to the pan, and bake for about fifteen minutes.
