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