Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes

Tip: You can help everyone eat pancakes together by creating a warming drawer of sorts, with your regular oven. Just put a heat-safe platter in the center of the oven, and set the thermometer to about 185 degrees- when that temperature is reached, turn off the oven and start cooking the pancakes, placing them on the platter in the oven as you prepare them. They will all be fluffy and warm come time to eat!

1 cup milk
1 T white vinegar
1 egg
3/4 cup unbleached AP flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2T butter, melted

Make buttermilk:
In a measuring cup, combine milk and vinegar, stir and set aside for five minutes.

Prepare pancakes:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk egg and add buttermilk.

In another small bowl, combine flours, salt, and baking soda. Add to the buttermilk mixture and whisk until smooth, then whisk in the butter as well.

Heat nonstick skillet of choice on medium low heat, and pour desired amount of batter (2 oz. is a nice 3" pancake) onto surface. About 2 minutes later, or when a few bubbles pop and hold their shape on top of the pancake, flip and continue to cook until steam is no longer is present, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
