Ingredients
- all-purpose flour – 2 cups
- granulated sugar – 1 tablespoon
- baking powder – 1 ½ tablespoons
- baking soda – ½ teaspoon
- salt – ½ teaspoon
- large egg – 1 (beaten)
- canola or vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons
- buttermilk – 1 ¾ cups
- green food coloring – 1 tablespoon (adjust for shade)
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a well in the center.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then add oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring, mixing until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Gently stir until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy for the fluffiest 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 edges look dry and bubbles form, then flip to cook the other side until done.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or festive toppings.
Notes
Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
Ensure not to overmix the batter; lumpy batter leads to fluffier pancakes.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
