7/8 c. flour
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda

Mix above ingredients. Beat until light:

1 c. buttermilk (more if you like thinner pancakes)
1 egg

Combine the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients with a few swift strokes. Do not overbeat. For a family of six I use 3 cups of dry ingredients and mix in 3 eggs and 4 cups of buttermilk because we like our pancakes thinner. Extra pancakes can be kept in the refrigerator and warmed in the microwave.
