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 the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, creating a deep well in the center.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring until fully combined.
- Pour this mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Gently stir until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy for fluffiness.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to 250°F (120°C) and lightly grease with oil.
- Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle.
- Cook until edges look dry and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until fully done.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or festive toppings.
Notes
For fluffiest pancakes, do not overmix the batter; it should remain slightly lumpy.
Adjust the green food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
Feel free to add chocolate chips or sprinkles for extra fun!
