Light as a Feather Pancakes

This recipe is from a cookbook that Ellen got for her birthday. She helped me make these for breakfast the other day and they were good.

1 c flour
1 T sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1 c buttermilk
2 T oil

Put dry ingredients in a bowl and mix. Combine egg, milk, and oil in another mixing bowl and beat with whisk until ingredients are well mixed. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until dry ingredients are wet. The batter should be somewhat lumpy, not smooth. Cook pancakes on a griddle or skillet. To check if the griddle or skillet is ready, carefully sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. The water will dance across the surface when the griddle is hot enough. Cook over medium heat until pancakes have slightly bubbly surgaces and the edges are slightly dry (about 2 min.) Turn over and cook until bottoms are golden brown (2 min. more).

Aimee's note - I triple this recipe for our family and it is just enough to feed all of us. Yes I am intentionally putting a dinner label on this. We have pancakes for supper way more often than we do for breakfast.
