2 cups buttermilk*
2 eggs
tsp soda**
¼ cup sugar
2 cups flour
¼ oil***
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, add a touch of butter so the first pancake doesn’t stick. Pour in some batter. When you see air bubbles coming to the surface, flip the pancake. Serve the pancake when it’s golden brown on both sides.
Usually April and I halve the recipe for just the two of us.
Enjoy!
*Because we don’t normally have buttermilk here in Spain, we substitute 2 cups (or four 125g containers) of natural yogurt. I prefer the recipe this way, actually.
**Also, we’ve discovered that you can buy baking soda in Spain. It just goes by its scientific name, bicarbonato sódico. However, I’m not sure why, but American baking soda (We use Arm & Hammer brand) makes fluffier pancakes than the Spanish baking soda does, so we have friends bring us American baking soda when possible.
***I know it’s tempting to use olive oil for everything when you live in Spain, but pancakes is one recipe where olive oil just doesn’t cut it. We use sunflower oil or aceite refinado de girasol in Spanish.

thanks kelly. i would like to enjoy them, but i can't decipher how much oil i need. the blog mentions "1/4 oil" but no indication as to if that is 1/4 CUP or 1/4 TBS or anything. i'm going to assume it's 1/4 CUP and we'll see how it goes. i can't shake the notion that you are trying to sabotage me and somehow make my first "crull's pancake experience" one that i'll remember for all the wrong reasons while you sit at your elitist mac laptop and laugh like this: mmmmmoowwaahaaaaahhahahahha.
also, i know that april was really pendantic about the order in which you mix things in this recipe. is that thoroughness accounted for in this "blog post"?
anyway, due to a combination of misinformation and apparent ill will on your part, it looks as though your coveted pancake recipe might suffer some real-world criticism today after i get done trying to interpret your cryptic instructions.
- anon.
It is 1/4 CUP of oil (sunflower or vegetable is best - olive oil is a bit fuerte).
Add the ingredients in the exact order they are listed. Mix after the soda, mix again after the flour, and then finally mix after the oil.
Do not OVERMIX. Just until the ingredients are well-blended.
Good luck Andy :)
