Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat and follow the manufacturer's directions regarding adding oils or cooking sprays to prepare the cooking surface. (Alternatively, you can use a large, nonstick skillet, cooking the pancakes in smaller batches.)
  • Begin by combining flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl, stirring thoroughly with a whisk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine egg, milk, oil, and vanilla, stirring to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the center of the dry ingredients. Mix by pulling the dry ingredients into the wet center. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix (there may still be a few small lumps in the batter).
  • Pour the pancakes onto your griddle in the desired sizes or shapes. The pancakes should be ready to flip when they have bubbles at the center and are beginning to look a little dry at the outer edges. At that point, they should be perfectly golden brown underneath. Exactly how long this takes will vary depending on how hot your particular griddle runs and how large you choose to make your pancakes.
  • After you flip the pancakes, the second side should cook in about half the time as the first side.
  • Serve warm.

PERFECT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES



Perfect Whole Wheat Pancakes image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups buttermilk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Whisk whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl; pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (batter may seem a bit thick).
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto hot skillet and use a spoon to spread the pancake a bit. Cook until browned and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Heat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. This will help prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
