The buttermilk is essential for the pancakes to rise - if you don't have buttermilk, take 1 cup of high fat milk, remove 1 tbsp of milk & replace with 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar. Stir & let sit for 5 minutes. For this recipe, you would do the same process but with ½ cup milk & ½ tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt together in a bowl.
Make a well in the center.
Pour the buttermilk, oil & beaten eggs into the well.
Do not overmix (lumps are fine). This is crucial.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat for about 5 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
Turn heat up to medium–low & using a measuring cup, ladle ¼ cup batter into the skillet.
Let cook untouched for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin forming in middle & batter no longer looks wet. If pan looks dry, add more oil as necessary.
Flip & cook other side until lightly browned & just cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to ensure pancakes are cooked through without browning, I typically stay between 3-4 on my stovetop.
