Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat griddle or frying pan to 350°F until a fleck of water dances on the surface.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
  • Add the egg, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. Whisk until combined; batter may be slightly lumpy.
  • Pour batter onto the hot griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay. You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes.
