How to Make Buttermilk Griddle Cakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup buttermilk until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup melted unsalted margarine or vegetable oil.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. (Test by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, it's ready.)
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each griddle cake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
