- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk

Instructions

- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy for fluffiness.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to 250°F (120°C) and lightly grease with oil.
- Spoon 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle.
- Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until browned on the other side.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your choice of festive toppings.
Notes
Adjust the amount of green food coloring for your desired shade of green.
For extra fluffiness, avoid over-mixing the batter.
These pancakes are best served warm and can be frozen for later enjoyment.
