Notes
- The griddle is ready when you drip water onto it and it dances and sizzles.
- You may be able to make more than one pancake at a time depending on the size of your griddle. In this case, work quickly and drop on the pancake batter in as many dollops as you can comfortably fit and then top them all with the swirl, starting with the first pancake you dropped on and going in order.
- You can add more milk to the frosting if you want it thinner.
