Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, beaten egg, and cooking oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
  4. If the batter appears too thick, thin it with a splash of milk (not buttermilk) to achieve a pouring consistency.
  5. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface.
  6. Test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water onto the pan; they should dance and sizzle, not just sit.
  7. Ladle approximately 1/8 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
  8. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Flip the pancake and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
