Notes

For perfectly round and even pancakes, cook one at a time.
You can use vegetable oil in place of avocado oil
If the pan begins to burn the cooking spray, rinse the pan under cold water to cool it off
Make sure the temperature is set to medium-low, this helps prevent uncooked batter in the center.
