• Eggs one by one
• Buttermilk
• Cooking oil
• Mix these wet ingredients until smooth.

Mix the Batter

• Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
• Don’t overmix the batter few lumps are fine.
• If you feel batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk to make equal consistency.

Cook the Pancakes

• Heat the non-stick pan over a medium flame. Grease the pan with butter or a cooking oil.
• Pour almost a tablespoon of batter and cook until you see bubbles on top. Then flip the side and cook few minutes until golden brown.

Serve the Pancakes

• When the cooking process is complete, remove the pancakes from the pan and serve with your favorite toppings. I used blueberries or honey.
