The basic pancake is the Buttermilk Pancake and most all others are a variation thereof, whether you add blueberries, walnuts or chocolate chips. Sweet Potato pancakes are my favorite, but we'll save that discussion for another post.
Buttermilk Pancakes
1 1/4 cups White Lily all-purpose flour (White Lily has less gluten)
1 1/2 teaspoons Clabber Girl baking powder (I just like the way the can looks...vintage!)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 egg
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Mix well for the best batter you've ever had. Heat large skillet or griddle over medium high heat and coat the bottom with melted butter. Spoon batter into the skillet, but don't crowd the pancakes. Look for many bubbles to form in the batter before turning. Your goal is to be patient and only flip once. This is hard to do for A type personalities, but the payoff is worth it.
Serve with butter and maple syrup.
If you mess up, serve with butter and warmed chocolate syrup. Either way, you'll be adored by everyone in the house!
