1 Cup Cake Flour
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 Cup Buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Tbls Butter, Melted
3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Yields 10 4″ Cakes
Sift the flour before measuring. Re sift with the sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Beat the egg until light. Add the buttermilk and melted butter to the egg. Combine the sifted and liquid ingredients with a few quick strokes. Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least four hours before using (the longer the batter rests, the better it gets). Preheat the griddle. When the griddle is ready (a drop of cold water skitters about on the surface for several seconds before evaporating), use a tablespoon to gently pour the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the top surface. Check to see how well the bottom surface has browned and, when ready, turn and cook the second side. Cook until the second side is done (this takes much less time than the first side). Serve hot with syrup, bacon, sausage, etc.
