- Place a skillet over medium-low heat and allow the pan to warm. Spray your pan with cooking spray and add your pancake mix. Allow to cook over medium-low heat, until the edges of your pancake begin to puff up, and you see small bubbles forming. Flip your pancakes and allow them to cook on the other side.
