  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and 3 tablespoons oil together in a separate bowl until well combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; batter may seem a bit thick.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake into the hot skillet. Spread batter into circles with a spoon; cook until browned on the bottom and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until set in the middle and browned on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
