Heat sufficient oil to cover bottom of pan. Oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles immediately. Drop batter in heaping tablespoonfuls into oil and then flatten somewhat. Fry to golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel. You may need to replenish the pan if making a lot and the oil no longer covers the bottom.
