Basic Buttermilk Pancakes

Directions

1. 1
   In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, including the vegetable oil.
3. 3
   Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
4. 4
   Stir with a spoon or whisk just until it is combined.
5. 5
   There should be lumps and the batter will be fairly thick.
6. 6
   At this point you can let the batter rest for up to 60 minutes, or cover and refrigerate it overnight.
7. 7
   For large pancakes use 1/4 cup of batter, or use about 1/8 cup for little pancakes.
8. 8
   Cook until the top is bubbling and first side is brown, then flip.
9. 9
   Don't mash them with the spatula after you flip them, or they will be flattened instead of fluffy.
10. 10
    When they are cooked through, the top will be a little bouncy if you poke it with your fingers.
