These quick and delicious homemade pancakes with self-rising flour are a cinch to pull off on a weekday morning. The convenience of self-rising flour allows you to get them on the table in 10 minutes or less, and you won't sacrifice flavor or texture either. The pancakes are fork-tender, light, fluffy, and complete with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and oil or melted butter until foamy. Add to the flour mixture and mix until blended; leaving a few small lumps is OK.
Let the pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes, while your griddle or frying pan heats up. Heat to medium high (375°F to 400°F), until a drop of water dribbled onto the surface bounces across it. Brush lightly with vegetable oil, or spray with non-stick baking spray.
For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface. Flip the pancakes over once bubbles have risen to the surface, and cook the second side until golden brown. Serve hot.
