Whole Grain Pancakes With Fresh Fruit Recipes

FRUIT-TOPPED WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Beat milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons melted Country Crock® Spread in medium bowl with wire whisk. Slowly whisk milk mixture into flour mixture just until combined; set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon Country Crock® in skillet, then drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls. Cook pancakes, turning once, until done. Repeat with remaining batter adding additional Spread to the skillet as needed. Serve pancakes topped with additional Spread, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRIES

Steps:

• Whisk whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl just to incorporate. Using a few swift strokes, whisk egg mixture into dry ingredients just to combine. Stir grains into batter (you can pulse the grains in a food processor first if you prefer them in smaller pieces).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly brush with butter. Add half of batter to skillet, spreading into an even layer as wide as the skillet. Cook pancake until bubbles have formed and broken across the entire surface and underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using 2 spatulas (or sliding onto a flat plate before inverting back into skillet), flip pancake. Continue to cook until lightly browned underneath, about 1 minute. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes topped with butter, fruit, and syrup.

WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and honey. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Check to see if it's hot by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. They should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
• Add a little butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet; repeat to cook as many at one time as you can, leaving space for each pancake to spread.
• Cook until bubbles form and start to burst, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate as they finish, and serve immediately with maple syrup and more butter on top, if you like.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

DAD'S DOUBLE WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift all-purpose flour, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in whole wheat flour. In a small bowl, combine sugar, eggs, water, butter and vinegar. Make a well in the flour mixture, and pour in the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

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.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES THAT DON'T TASTE LIKE IT!

Steps:

• I used an electric skillet, but you can also preheat non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Using whisk, combine all ingredients until just smooth.
• Pour approximately 1/4 c batter into skillet (form 5" circle).
• If using whole grain pancake flour, there won't be "bubbles" as in other pancakes, but when you see the edges set well, and lift from skillet (about 2-3 minutes), flip pancakes.
• Brown for another 1-2 minutes til done. May try a toothpick in the middle, as in a cake, because these whole grain pancakes will "brown" quicker and may not be done in the middle.
• **If using whole wheat pastry flour, your results will be more bubbles in the pancakes and browning will be less because of the flour and more from cooking time and temperature.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl; set aside. Stir together milk, Egg Beaters, yogurt, oil and vanilla in small bowl. Add to flour mixture; stir just until blended. (Do not overmix. Batter still should be slightly lumpy.)
• Spray griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot or heat electric griddle to 400 degrees F. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and bottom is golden brown. Turn and cook side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon honey; top with fresh fruit. Serve immediately.
