Handed down through generations, this easy recipe for grandma's buttermilk pancakes will elicit rave reviews from everyone at your table.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups buttermilk, or more as needed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

Directions

1 Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
2 Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.
3 Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
