Grandma's Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 cups buttermilk , or more as needed
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

2. 2

   Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.

3. 3

   Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
