1

Make homemade buttermilk by combining 1 cup of 2% milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stirring. Set aside.

2

In a bowl, mix together 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, the homemade buttermilk, 1/2 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

4

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, whisking until just incorporated. There should be a few lumps remaining.

5

Let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the dry ingredients to absorb the wet ingredients.

6

Preheat a griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with non-stick spray.

7

Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the griddle, placing it in the center.

8

Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges lose their glisten, then flip the pancake.

9

Cook the flipped pancake for about 2 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a knife in the center.

10

After the first pancake, no need to spray the griddle again; the remaining pancakes should not stick due to the seasoned cast iron.

11

Serve pancakes with a pad of butter and syrup on top.
