Preheat pan to medium-low heat, or griddle to 375 degrees.
Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add buttermilk and mix.
Crack egg into a separate, small bowl and whisk to incorporate air. Whisk until light and bubbly. (Using eggs that are not straight from the fridge will help with this.)
Add the egg to the other ingredients and mix just to incorporate. Do not overmix.
Grease pan or griddle with vegetable oil. Scoop batter into desired size portions on pan and cook until bubbles begin to form on top of pancakes. Flip and cook on other side.
To create a "Santa Pancake," add strawberries for hat and nose, and two blueberries for eyes. Add whipped cream on top for hat, beard, and mustache.
Enjoy!
