Instructions

  1. Whisk together the first 6 ingredients (water, buttermilk, egg, oil, sugar, salt, and yeast).
  2. Add the flour one cup at a time until it is a thin cake-batter consistency. There should not be lumps of flour.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and leave the batter at room temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or in a warm place* for 1 hour. It's ready when has nearly doubled in volume and is very bubbly.
  4. Set a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom.
  5. Place heaping tablespoons* of dough onto the hot skillet and sauté until golden brown on the first side and you see bubbles form and start to pop on top, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  6. Continue to oil your skillet in between each batch. They turn out nicer on a well-oiled skillet.

Notes

  • *To proof the dough, Ii put it in the oven with the light on, but make sure to keep it under 100˚F, or it will exhaust the yeast.*You can get better shaped pancakes if you use a wet tablespoon to put the dough in the skillet and scrape it off with a teaspoon.
