Buttermilk Pancakes


1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 pinch salt

Preheat skillet over medium heat. Mix all of the ingredients together until combined, making sure not to over-mix. Melt a little bit of butter in the pan. Pour the batter by spoonfuls into the hot pan, forming 5-inch circles. Cook until golden brown on each side.

I have always wanted to make pancakes from scratch, but never really took the time to do it. I also never thought that I could find a recipe that would just blow us away. This recipe blew us away! They came out soooo fluffy, and the fact that I whipped them together in no time was an added bonus. It is very safe to say that we will NEVER make pancakes from a mix again! When we decided to make the sausage quiche for dinner, I thought that it would be nice to have something else breakfast-like to go with it. Pancakes seemed like the perfect addition. And they really were! The sweetness of the pancakes along with the saltiness of the quiche made for a wonderful dinner. I can't wait to make these again, though next time I will probably make them a little bit smaller so that we have more. This is a personal problem, and has nothing to do with the recipe. I just had the big eye on the size of the pancakes!

Can't wait to try these! Can you use regular milk instead of buttermilk, by chance? I know it wouldn't be the same (bc of the name), but would it still work & taste good?

Try adding vinegar to the milk if you have it. I forgot how much I added, but if you look it up online it will tell you. We had to do that one night because we didn't have buttermilk, and they came out great! Not quite as fluffy, but they were still delicious!
