- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk

- In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the oil, buttermilk, and green food coloring until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Gently stir until just combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy for fluffiness.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to 250°F (120°C) and lightly grease it with oil.

Notes
Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
Ensure not to overmix the batter to retain fluffiness in the pancakes.
