Ingredients
Makes 14 (3-inch) pancakes
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, egg, and buttermilk until smooth.
Step 3
Heat a griddle or a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface, then brush with oil. Working in batches and using a 1/4-cup measure filled halfway, pour batter onto griddle and cook, turning over once, until golden, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a heatproof plate and keep warm, covered, in oven.
Batter keeps, chilled and covered, 3 days. Thin as necessary with additional buttermilk or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, before using.

Soooo good! Like others I add 1T sugar and 2T melted unsalted butter. One recipe is enough for two adults.

These are perfection, all of my kids friends love to sleep over, because they know they will wake up to these pancakes. Only addition I’ve made is adding 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla and they are perfect. Oh and I usually have to double or triple the recipe! So yummy!

Made today with a couple of additions as suggested by others. Added 2 t sugar and 1/2 t vanilla. Cut the salt to 1/2 t. I added more milk to thin batter out to a pouring consistency. Pancakes were tender and light. We really liked this recipe.

Very good and easy. I added 2 Tablespoons of melted butter as other recipes I've made all included butter. Also substituted wheat flour. Didn't find them too salty but served them with a blueberry and strawberry compote which could have balanced that out.

Wow, these are super easy and tastes great. I live in the desert at a high altitude-Albuquerque, and they still turned out good. The recipe called for just one cup of buttermilk, this was not enough so I added a little more water. 1/3 to 1/2 a cup. I also added a pinch of sugar and a splash of canola oil. They had a little crispiness yet were soft when you bite into them, I will never buy any store bought mixes ever again, not even my favorite Snoqualmie Falls from Washington State.

Too salty for me, even after adding a tablespoon of sugar.

I wanted to like this recipe as it is so simple. But I don't. The batter is way to thick, and tastes only of baking soda. I won't be making it again.

Easy recipe for pancakes - I made these for my Dad's birthday and they came out great! I added fresh blueberries, dropping a small handful onto each pancake after it had been dropped onto the griddle. Made about 8-9 pancakes total.

I normally don't write reviews but felt I had to for these pancakes. This recipe is outstanding. The pancakes turned out perfect. They were thick and fluffy! I doubled the recipe and added 2 Tbsp sugar for a touch of sweetness. This is my new go-to pancake recipe for now on. You have to make these!

Excellent thick, fluffy pancakes (I did not thin the batter with extra liquid). Because we were serving them for breakfast, I added 2 Tablespoons of sugar.

Very good! Used whole wheat flour and added 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp Agave. Had to watch the heat in the griddle but so easy to put together, will make again.
