Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg and ¼ cup of water. Add the dry ingredients to the milk mixture and whisk until ingredients are just combined into a thin batter.
  • Heat a large non-stick sauté pan or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to grease the pan and allow to melt, tilting the pan to evenly spread it around the pan.
  • Add enough batter to the pan to form a 5-inch circle. Cook until the surface of the pancakes have a few bubbles, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook until the underside is golden brown, an additional 2 minutes.
  • Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
  • Serve warm with remaining butter and maple syrup.
