Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon green food coloring (adjust for shade)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a deep well in the center.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring until fully combined.
- Pour the green wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Stir the mixture gently until just combined. Ensure the batter remains slightly lumpy for the fluffiest texture.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to 250°F (120°C) and lightly grease it with oil.
- Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle.
- Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until done.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or festive toppings.
Notes
Use buttermilk for a rich flavor; if unavailable, mix regular milk with a bit of vinegar.
Adjust the amount of green food coloring based on how vibrant you want the pancakes to be.
These pancakes freeze well; simply reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick meal.
