• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons oil (canola, corn, or vegetable)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

directions

1. lightly beat eggs.
2. add buttermilk, oil, sugar and vanilla and mix very well.
3. mix together dry ingredients.
4. add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

5. to cook:

6. preheat non stick pan, medium heat.
7. add 1/4 cup of batter and cook on a non-stick surface until bubbles appear throughout the pancake.
8. flip to cook the other side.
9. if batter is too thick, you can add water -- pancakes will be flatter though.
10. it is important to cook on medium heat even if it takes longer as it allows you to cook these pancakes with no extra oil in the pan- the result is fluffy and light and not oily.
