Pat's Foolproof Pancakes - Ginny Seng

1 cup all-purpose flour                      
¾ cup buttermilk 
¼ cup whole milk                               
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp baking soda                              
½ tsp salt
1 egg                                                      
2 tsp unsalted butter, melted
vegetable oil for cooking

Combine all ingredients except vegetable oil in mixing bowl and whisk lightly. It's OK if there's small lumps and streaks.  Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in 10-inch skillet over high heat. When hot, use paper towel to wipe away excess oil, leaving a thin film on entire surface. Reduce heat to medium-high and add ¼ cup batter for each of three pancakes. Cook until there are bubbles at edges. Turn with a metal turner and cook other side. Continue to cook remaining batter, adding more oil if necessary.  Variations: Blueberry - Fold ¾ cup berries to batter, Whole-wheat pancakes - Decrease flour to ¾ cup and add ¼ cup whole-wheat flour, Banana - Slice 1 ripe banana into batter, Pecan - Add ⅔ cup chopped toasted pecans to the batter.
