BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

5 STARS in MY BOOK!

Ingredients
    1 large Egg
    1 cup All-purpose flour
    1 cup Buttermilk
    1 tablespoon Packed light brown sugar
    2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon Baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon Salt
    2 teaspoon Vanilla (optional) the secret ingredient
 
    1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Preparation

Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees F. If you don''t have a griddle, preheat a frying pan to
medium-heat.

Beat the egg in a medium size bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients,
except the butter. Use the butter or Crisco to grease the griddle or frying pan, if necessary, to
prevent sticking. To test the readiness of the griddle or pan, you may place a drop of
water onto it. If it sizzles, then your pan is hot enough to start cooking.

I usually pour my batter into a glass measuring cup or something with a pouring lip and use that to pour the batter onto the griddle. I find it much easier to pour and control the size of the pancakes. Once the batter
is poured onto the pan or griddle, watch for bubbles forming on top. When bubbles have
started to form, flip your pancakes over to finish the second side. DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THESE... (I saw that done at a church breakfast once and thought I'd kill the guy! : D HAHA! They are to be light and fluffy, not disks for shooting practice!) Repeat process until all batter is used up or refrigerate for tomorrow.
Serve with syrup, a pat of butter, powdered sugar and fruit, if desired. Eat later as a snack good... grandson Walker "loves pancakes anytime Gramma".
I just finished making these pancakes for breakfast, delish!! I just added cinnamon and
a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead of using butter to grease my skillet I used Crisco
much better it doesn't burn and ur pancakes never come out dark, always golden brown.
ENJOY!!!

    Almost the same as my BEST recipe...ditch the b.sugar...increase the baking soda to one tsp....use 2 eggs...and one Tbs. veg oil....and alas the secret ingredient 2 tsp. vanilla. Outdated buttermilk makes better cakes also...
