2. Stir in remaining ingredients except syrup and whipped cream, just until mixed.  
3. Line a 1 qt. pitcher or bowl with gallon-sized reseaslable food-storage plastic bag.  Pour batter into bag, seal bag, pressing out air.  
4. Heat griddle to 375 degrees.  Oil hot griddle.  
5. Cut a small hole in corner of bag.  For each pancake, gently squeeze bag to pipe about 2 Tbl. batter onto hot griddle, forming spider webs.
