Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, spreading to make 4 pancakes. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface – about 2 minutes – then flip over and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden. Repeat to use up the remaining oil and batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm between layers of baking parchment until you're ready to serve.
