Flat As A Pancake

Servings: 4 ⟩⟩ Serving size: 2 Pancakes


You Will Need

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour*
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Fresh or frozen fruit, apple butter, applesauce or light syrup
  • *Optional: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour.

What To Do

  • Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in mixing bowl; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and oil.
  • Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until dry ingredients are wet. The batter should still have some lumps.
  • Spray griddle or large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Flip pancakes over with a spatula. Cook until bottoms are golden brown (about 2 more minutes).
  • Serve pancakes with fruit topping, blueberry sauce or light syrup.
