Best Pancakes EVER!

  • Prep Time: 15m
  • Cook Time: 20m
  • Yield: 8 - 4" pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 c all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp. of salted butter, sliced into 8 pats
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more as needed for cooking
  • 1 c buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate small mixing bowl, beat egg with a fork until yolk and white are blended. Add buttermilk and oil to the egg and mix with a fork until well combined.
  3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined, but still a bit lumpy.
  4. Add the vegetable oil to a skillet or griddle and heat over medium heat until you notice the oil getting shimmery and the skillet is hot.
  5. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to dip into batter and pour onto the hot skillet. Cook until the pancake has a bubbly surface and the edges look slightly dry.
  6. Add a pat of butter to the top of the pancake and carefully flip with a spatula.
  7. Continue to cook the pancake until the bottom is golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside while you cook the remaining pancakes.
  8. Serve with syrup and favorite toppings.
