Old fashioned buttermilk pancakes

Made old fashioned buttermilk pancakes this morning...YUM.. My kids just love these. Here is the recipe.
1 cup of Buttermilk, 1 egg, room temp., 3 tablespoons butter, melted, 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda.

Put the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir briskly until the mixture is smooth. Stir the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl so they are well blended. Stir into the buttermilk mixture only until the ingredients are moistened-leave the lumps.

Heat a skillet or griddle to medium hot. Grease it lightly and spoon out some batter, spread the batter so it is thinned out a little. Cook on both sides.

Then serv'em up!
