Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Divide the measured oil between the batches, using only enough to lightly coat the base each time. Add a small ladle of batter and tilt into a thin layer. Cook until the surface is set and the base golden, then flip and brown the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, allowing about 15 minutes in total.
