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!

Time 15m

Yield 12 4-in pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used about 2 T. to cut down on fat.)

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!

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!

Time 40m

Yield 16 pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (I use Gold Metal )
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar if you like)
3/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup water
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

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.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Categories     Brunch     Fry     Kid-Friendly     Healthy

Yield 10 Serves 3 or 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 TBS light brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
3/4 cup 1 or 2% milk
1/2 cup water (add more as needed)
1 or 2 TBS butter
1 or 2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine and cook as you would any pancakes from scratch. No need to add butter or oil to pan . Also not necessary to beat the egg first. The batter should be quite thick. I top with maple syrup and berries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh and active. Old baking powder and baking soda can result in flat, dense pancakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, chewy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. High heat will cook the pancakes too quickly, resulting in a crispy exterior and a raw interior.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can result in deflated pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These fluffy whole wheat pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They're made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. With a few tips and tricks, you can make perfect pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast, give these whole wheat pancakes a try.
