Freshly Ground Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipes

100% WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

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.

EASY DELICIOUS WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and the salt in a medium bowl, set aside.
• Warm the milk until lukewarm, not hot (you should be able to keep your finger submerged for 10 seconds).
• Whisk milk, butter, egg, and the vanilla together until blended.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk mixture into the well and stir with a fork until mixed and only small clumps of flour remain. Do not over mix batter. Note: The batter will be quite thick. If it is unreasonably thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk to thin it out a little.
• Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat. The pan is ready if when you splatter a little water onto the pan surface, the water dances around the pan and eventually evaporates.
• Lightly brush skillet with melted butter. Spoon a 1/4-cup of the batter onto the skillet and gently spread into a 4-inch circle. (If the batter is thick, you may need to use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle).
• When the edges look dry and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancakes, turn over, about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve warm with syrup, bananas or other toppings.

GREAT WHOLE WHEAT (FRESHLY MILLED) PANCAKES

Steps:

• In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Cook's note: I usually "jumpstart" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).

100% WHOLE WHEAT HARVEST PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl, ideally one with a lip for pouring the batter later. Mix with a fork or whisk.
• Combine milk, eggs, banana, oil, and vanilla extract in another bowl. Beat together using a hand mixer until frothy.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan to 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C), depending on altitude.
• Pour milk mixture over the flour mixture and mix until just combined and most lumps have incorporated into the batter. Fold in apple. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Pour or ladle 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until edges are dry and bubbles form on the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and egg. Stir just until smooth.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

PANCAKES WITH FRESHLY GROUND FLOUR

Steps:

• Grind wheat berries to fine flour. I use a Vitamix blender for 1 minute on high.
• Mix all dry ingredients.
• Mix all wet ingredients seperately.
• Combine wet and dry with a fork or whisk just till moistened. Do not over mix. Let it sit 5-10 minutes if possible.
