Servings: 12 pancakes
Calories: 129kcal
Cost: Recipe $1.78 / Serving $0.15
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour ($0.23)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ($0.05)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder ($0.10)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda ($0.01)
- ¼ teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten ($0.15)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil ($0.13)
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk ($1.10)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until blended.
- Combine batter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk just until no dry flour remains. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
- Rest batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while heating a skillet or griddle over medium heat, about 350°F.
- Cook pancakes. Scoop batter in ¼-cup portions onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form and the edges look set, until golden brown.

Notes
- Mixing. Stir only until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing leads to dense, rubbery pancakes.
- Flipping. Flip when bubbles appear on top and edges are set. Do not press or squish pancakes.
- Heat control. If pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly to allow centers to cook through.
- Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
