Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 1/2 tsp salt
- Beat the egg and then add the buttermilk and soda.
Preparation
Step 1
You can use regular milk, but the buttermilk makes the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
Stir in flour, sugar, oil, baking powder and salt. Stir until blended. Try to get any lumps out but don't overdo it on the stirring.
Heat a griddle or frying pan with a little oil or butter. You want medium heat and for the oil/butter to be hot but not burned.
Dip out enough batter to make pancakes about 3 to 4 inches around. You can, of course, make big ones or little silver dollar sized.
As you're cooking, you'll probably need to add a little more oil or butter as you go. Just add small amounts as needed.
You can keep a plate warm in the oven and complete the whole batch or serve them right from the frying pan as they're done if you have a very informal family.
This recipe makes 8 to 10 medium pancakes or enough for 4 people. Double recipe for more pancake servings.
Add fruit to batter.
