Ingredients
- 1 cups warm water about 115˚F
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil or other neutral oil plus more to sautee pancakes
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast or rapid rise yeast
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour measured correctly - scoop and level
- ½ cup raisins optional
Instructions
- Whisk together the first 6 ingredients (water, buttermilk, egg, oil, sugar, salt, and yeast).
- Add the flour one cup at a time until it is a thin cake-batter consistency. There should not be lumps of flour.
- 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.
- Set a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom.
- 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.
- 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.
