Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (beaten) large egg
- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon green food coloring (adjust for shade)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Create a deep well in the center.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Gently stir the mixture until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy for a fluffier 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
Adjust the amount of green food coloring based on your desired shade.
Serve with whipped cream or berry toppings for added flavor.
These pancakes can be frozen for later use—just reheat in the toaster or microwave.
