Alton Browns Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipes

"INSTANT" PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
• Use the mix within 3 months.
• Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
• Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
• Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
• Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
• Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
• Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

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 ;).
