Ingredients

  • 2 cups Self-rising flour see notes for Gluten-Free Self Rising Flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl stir together the flour and sugar.
  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs, buttermilk, and oil together. Pour into flour mixture. Stir to combine. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Allow batter to rest for 10 minutes. The batter will thicken.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray (unless already non-stick) or melt a small amount of butter on the skillet.
  • Spoon batter onto the heated griddle/skillet in 1/3 cup amounts. NOTE: the pancakes will puff up and expand while cooking so do not crowd the griddle for easier flipping.
    When bubbles form on top and underside of the pancakes is golden in color, flip the pancakes over. Only do this once.
  • Cook until the underside is golden brown and serve hot.

Pancake size:
