Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and 3 tablespoons oil together in a separate bowl until well combined.
4 Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; batter may seem a bit thick.
5 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake into the hot skillet.
6 Spread batter into circles with a spoon; cook until browned on the bottom and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
7 Flip and cook until set in the middle and browned on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
