Ingredients

  • 4 cups buttermilk low-fat ok
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Butter, oil, or nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk buttermilk and eggs together in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in oil and vanilla until combined.
  3. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until just combined (batter may still be a bit lumpy but shouldn't have large lumps). Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Grease the skillet using butter, oil, or nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion batter into pan in 4 places.
  7. Cook until edges are set, first side is golden brown, and bubbles on surface are just beginning to break, 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip pancakes and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, 1-2 minutes longer.

Notes

  • Buttermilk: If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make homemade buttermilk substitute. 
  • Oil: Any neutral oil, like olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil, will work. 
  • Mixing: I recommend mixing the batter by hand to avoid overmixing. Overmixing the batter can cause dense, heavy pancakes. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
