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 together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and create a deep well in the center.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring until fully combined.
- Pour the green wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, ensuring the batter remains 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 the batter onto the griddle and cook until the edges look dry and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until done.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or festive toppings.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, do not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy.
Green food coloring can be adjusted for a lighter or darker shade.
Serve these pancakes with whipped cream or fresh fruit for added flavor.
