Whole Wheat Griddle Cakes Recipes

GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a heavy nonstick pan (i.e. spray with non-stick cooking spray), and start heating it at medium-high heat.
• Sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and butter.
• Now combine the dry and wet ingredients together, stirring just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Do not worry about getting rid of all of the lumps. (It is important to combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine them together to reduce the amount of time that the gluten in the flour has to toughen up.).
• Pour the batter onto the hot pan in about 4" circles.
• Flip the cakes when they get bubbly on the one side.
• Continue cooking until the bottom browns. I usually peek by pulling up the edge with a spatula.
• If the griddle cakes are cooking too fast, reduce the heat.
• Never flip the griddle cakes more than once as this will make them heavy.
• Serve the griddle cakes immediately even if this means that people have to eat at different times because there are not enough to go around when the first batch comes off of the griddles.

CREAM OF WHEAT GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, cream of wheat, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set bowl aside. Whisk together the milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and stir in the wet ingredients. Do not overmix the batter.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/3 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

WHOLE WHEAT GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Mix the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Lightly beat the milk, egg, oil and honey together.
• Add the liquid ingredients all at once to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just moistened. Do not overmix, a few lumps are fine.
• Warm a lightly greased griddle pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on the griddle form fast-moving bubbles.
• Pour batter onto the griddle: 1/8 cup for small or 1/4 cup for large pancakes.
• When the tops of the pancakes are covered with holes and the bottoms are golden brown, flip to brown the other side.
• Keep warm in the oven.

GRAHAM GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and pecans (if desired). In a separate bowl, stir together milk, butter and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir well.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

CINNAMON GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium low heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
• While pancakes are cooking, mix the icing. Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and enough milk to make a liquid frosting. Drizzle frosting on hot pancakes before serving.
