FOUR GRAIN PANCAKES OR WAFFLES



Four Grain Pancakes or Waffles image

I don't know where this recipe came from, but I am so glad I found it in my "to try" pile. I made them as pancakes for breakfast today. They have a nice texture, not heavy at all (which I was worried about). They make a nice change from traditional pancakes. I did tinker with the recipe a bit, so I put those changes in as an option.

FOUR-GRAIN PANCAKES

I've worked with probably 20 pancake recipes and this is the best pancake I've ever made, whole grain or otherwise. It's light and tender, even when cold, and has a little heft and body from the oatmeal and cornmeal plus a bewitching fragrance from the nutmeg. The original is from the 1997 edition of Joy of Cooking, where it's called Four-Grain Flapjacks (just to confuse Brits). I usually halve the recipe, which works well.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of grains. This will give your pancakes a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include whole wheat flour, oat flour, cornmeal, and buckwheat flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the grains to absorb the liquid and make the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Four-grain pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of toppings to choose from, you can enjoy four-grain pancakes any day of the week.
