Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
- Use the mix within 3 months.
- Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
- Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
- Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
- Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
- Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
- Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.
ALTON BROWN'S FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
I've tried many whole wheat pancake recipes. Some were good, some not so good but I never had one make me say, "Wow! A truly fluffy whole wheat pancake!" until this one. Posting it here so I don't lose it! We love to eat these for dinner with some turkey sausage. Very filling!

Steps:
- Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients. (I just melted the butter slightly before adding it in with the eggs and buttermilk.).
- Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and mix just until batter comes together. Do NOT mix smooth. Set aside batter to rest for 5 minutes.
- * Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- *Test the griddle by flicking water on it. If the water dances across the surface, you're good to go.
- * Rub down the griddle with a little butter or spray with nonstick spray.
- Ladle 1 scoop of batter onto the griddle. (Batter will be thick! Just spread it out with the bottom of your ladle or the back of a spoon.) Cook until bubbles form in the batter and bottom is golden, approximately three minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden, another a minute or so. Adjust the heat as necessary as you go along. Serve while hot!
LIGHT & FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
Whole wheat & fluffy?--Yes! I couldn't believe it either until I tried it. I'm not sure if it was because I milled my own wheat or not, but I'll be making this as my standard pancake recipe now.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
Even Using 100% whole wheat flour these are light and Delicious. You won't miss using All Purpose flour, I promise! Detail, details: Benefits: 30% Lower glycemic load, 25% more protein, 40% less inflammation factor rating, 500% more Fiber! http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5744/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5745/2 Topping found here: http://www.food.com/recipe.do?rid=rz.314472 - You can use soy milk if you like. - Unless you are Vegan don't skip on the Egg (yolk), it's a chemical thing. - If you cut the recipe in half, still use one egg. - It may seem tempting to not add the oil either, but again - unless it's a health thing, you can chemical reactions. You also don't have to use oil/spray on the griddle if it's non-stick this way. - Try substituting some Whole-Grain Corn meal for flour and removing vanilla for corn cakes! - I also add salt & Garlic (remove vanilla) to make dinner cakes!

Steps:
- Sift DRY ingredients: Flour, Powder, & Salt into bowl. Use the whisk to push it through the Sieve.
- Make a well (hole) in the middle of the dry ingredients.
- Pour all the WET ingredients: Honey, Milk, Egg, Oil, & Vanilla into that well.
- DO NOT OVER MIX - it should only take about 20-30 strokes. Here's how:.
- Beat only the WET ingredients for a few strokes.
- Gradually add in the DRY ingredients, pulling just the edges into the center well.
- Keep doing this until all the DRY is incorporated into the WET and you have a batter.
- KEY: Let the batter sit for at LEAST 10min, 15 is better.
- Heat griddle to 350F - On a normal stove this is MEDIUM heat. If you have a knob with numbers 1-10, Medium is about #4.
- When you know griddle is hot, and batter has sat long enough ladle batter onto the hot surface.
- I suggest doing only 1 at first to see how much it spreads. No one likes Butt-Cheek Cakes ;).
- Let the cake cook for about 1-2min (it's fast, I know!).
- When the edges have solidified and there is less steam escaping it is ready to flip.
- Pancakes WILL TELL YOU when they are ready to be flipped. If it doesn't release on its own - it's not ready.
- Once flipped it should only cook about 1 more min - but 2 is fine.
- Place cooked cakes on damp paper/dish towel in a warm oven, covered.
- Repeat for the rest of the cakes.
- If setting a 2min timer works for you, do that - so shame is playing it safe ;).
- Pair with Strawberry Balsalmic Topping ! http://www.food.com/recipe/strawberry-balsamic-topping-sweet-savory-475098.
PERFECT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
This recipe comes from the Tassajara Bread Book. I like whole wheat but I hate the heaviness of the finished recipe and usually halve it with white flour. This recipe defies all of that. They are so good. The genius who created this recipe should get a medal. I have used powdered milk in place of regular milk for this and found no difference. I'm saying 8 pancakes in yield, but it really varies on the size you like your pancakes. Additional note: you can substitute applesauce for the oil (use the same amount) and they turn out exactly the same with a lot less calories.
