Grandma Andersens Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

GRANDAD'S PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; make a 'well' in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon oil into the well. Mix until well moistened.
• Place a griddle over medium-high heat; sprinkle a few drops of water onto the griddle. If the droplets bounce, the griddle is ready; add 2 teaspoons oil.
• Spoon batter onto the griddle; cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

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.

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. (For thinner pancakes, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk.)
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 350°F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Grease griddle with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.

• Mix well with wire whisk.
• In small bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
• Mix well.
• Using wire whisk, mix flour mixture into egg mixture.

• Preheat skillet over medium high heat.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot skillet.
• With a circular wrist motion, swirl pan until batter is evenly covering bottom of pan.
• Cook until edges just start to brown.
• Carefully flip pancake over with a thin spatula. (I like to use a wide one).
• Cook turned crêpe about 20 seconds or until lightly browned.
• Slide onto plate to cool.
• Continue cooking remaining batter using same method.
• Serve hot by spreading with butter and syrup. Or Lingonberry preserves. Or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Then roll up like a crepe and enjoy.
