What to do
  1. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in mixing bowl; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and oil.
  3. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until dry ingredients are wet. The batter should still have some lumps.
  4. Spray griddle or large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot.
  5. To determine if the griddle or skillet is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on surface. The water will dance across surface when griddle is ready.
  6. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook over medium heat until pancakes bubble and edges become slightly dry. This takes about 2 minutes.
  7. Flip pancakes over with a spatula. Cook until bottoms are golden brown (about 2 more minutes).
  8. Serve pancakes with fruit topping, blueberry sauce or light syrup.
