Diner-Style Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and set aside.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook until the underside is golden brown, an additional 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.

7. 7

   Serve warm with remaining butter and maple syrup.
