How To Make Pancakes

Mama's gonna show you how to make pancakes that are light, fluffy and oh so good!



You can top these wonderful pancakes with maple syrup, honey or fresh fruit and whipped cream. You can even stir some chopped pecans into the batter or add fresh blueberries to the batter once you put them on the skillet or griddle.

1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour
1/3 cup of sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of whole milk
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Here's what you'll need to do:

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium low to low heat.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together sugar and flour. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk and oil. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the liquid ingredients. Mix just until everything is wet. Over mixing will cause your pancakes to be tough.

Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto your skillet. When the pancake becomes bubbly and hard around the edges flip it over and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown.
