Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 14 (3-inch) pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
Vegetable oil for brushing griddle

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°F.

    Step 2

    Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, egg, and buttermilk until smooth.

    Step 3

    Heat a griddle or a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface, then brush with oil. Working in batches and using a 1/4-cup measure filled halfway, pour batter onto griddle and cook, turning over once, until golden, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a heatproof plate and keep warm, covered, in oven.
