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.
