WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (WITH WHEAT GERM)



Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes (With Wheat Germ) image

Holy Colon-Blow, Batman! Please don't let the uber-healthy, fiber filled name of this recipe turn you off. (Because in reality, these are quite good, and good for you too!) My sweet girl, Lauren's folks gave us a 5 lb ricotta cheese container filled with WHEAT GERM, which they had bought in bulk. My frantic search for "wheat germ" recipes led me to this one--and I'm sticking with it! They came out nice and fluffy. Can be served with maple syrup, but I think fruit jam, jelly or even honey would be nice as well.

WHEAT GERM BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



Wheat Germ Buttermilk Pancakes image

I found this pancake recipe in an old cookbook but I modified it quite a bit. The original recipe called for heaping tablespoons of the wheat germ but I calculated what the exact measurement would be. Also, the original recipe uses white flour and I use whole wheat pastry flour. If you use a teflon griddle you do not have to use oil.

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Beat eggs lightly.
  • Stir in oil and buttermilk.
  • Add dry ingredients.
  • Mix until blended.
  • Cook on hot lightly oiled griddle, turning once, until cakes are browned on both sides.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. 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.
  • Make sure the wheat germ is fresh. Old wheat germ can have a bitter taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. A hot griddle will help the pancakes cook evenly.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

Wheat germ buttermilk pancakes are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their fluffy texture and slightly nutty flavor, these pancakes are sure to become a family favorite. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give these wheat germ buttermilk pancakes a try!
