Buttermilk Pancakes

By Little

This is my grandfather's recipe. He adapted it from a WWII Army cookbook.
Fry these on a thin film of shortening, higher heat. They will puff up like a pastry, and you will never look at another pancake the same way.

Ingredients

• 1 c. flour
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. soda
• 2 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/4 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Barely mix to moisten all dry ingredients; will be lumpy. Fry pancakes on griddle using a small amount of lard or shortening
