I adore the marinated cucumbers my grandma makes, and this is her recipe. Eating it in the warmer months or at any family gathering is a terrific idea.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups buttermilk, or more as needed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.
- Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

Reviews
I made the first batch exactly as written. They were OK, a little flat and a little, though. I then added another tbsp and a half of sugar, an equal amount of baking powder (1:1 with the baking soda), and 2 tsp of vanilla extract and liked them much better. It’s a great starter recipe imo.
First, I made these as written using a cup for cup gluten free flour. I added more than 3 cups of buttermilk as the batter was thick (and would not spread), I used nearly the full quart. The pancakes looked beautiful while cooking but the end result was a pancake that flattened as it cooled. My entire family commented there was too much oil in them. I would suggest halving the oil to 1/4 cup.
I made only half the recipe and got 9 pancakes. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly as written. They were tasty and I would make them again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
