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 for Making Perfect Four-Grain Pancakes:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your pancakes will taste. Be sure to use fresh milk, eggs, and baking powder.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown too quickly and be raw in the middle. Cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best when served hot and fresh. You can top the pancakes with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Making four-grain pancakes is a great way to start your day. These pancakes are packed with nutrients and flavor. They are also relatively easy to make. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect four-grain pancakes every time.
