Buttermilk Pancakes

We found this recipe on line at a site called Knol. It has become our favorite Sunday morning breakfast with some good thick-sliced bacon on the side and real maple syrup. So easy and quick - who needs a mix?

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 2-3
• Yields: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk
• 1  egg
• 3  tablespoons  melted butter (use microwave)
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 1  cup white flour
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Put the wet and dry ingredients into separate bowls. Whisk each lightly. Add roughly one half of the dry mix into the wet and whisk smooth, not too long. Add the remainder of the dry mix and barely whisk together. Don't beat too much - it will make the pancakes tougher. If possible let set a few minutes to let the baking powder and baking soda do their thing. Batter should be thick not runny.
2. Cook on a hot grill till golden brown on both sides.
