Preheat griddle.
In medium bowl, stir or sift dry ingredients together; beat egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and oil together. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour 1/4 cup batter for each cake onto a well seasoned hot griddle. Flip the pancake when bubbles appear on surface; turn only once.
Alternatives:
- Omit soda, use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1-1/3 cups 2 percent milk.
- Add 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Serve hot, chunky, spiced applesauce or thick fruit sauce over cakes instead of syrup for extra nutrition and fiber.
