Whole-wheat Pancakes

I have always used regular whole wheat flour and I was wondering why my pancakes and other baked goodies were a little dense and tasted too healthy. Until I bought this white whole-wheat flour, which planet was I on all these days?? I guess I was spending too much time in the baby food aisle that I completely missed the baking aisle. But as they say, it is better late than never and I’m so happy that I ran out of my old ww flour.

This recipe is from Vegetarian Bible by Sarah Brown.

Ingredients:

Whole-wheat Pastry flour – 1¼ cups

Whole-wheat flour – ½ cup (Skip WW pastry flour and use 1¾ cups ww-flour)

Wheat Germ – 2tbsp

Baking powder – 1tsp

Baking Soda – 2tsp

Salt – ½tsp

Eggs – 2, well beaten

Butter – 2tbsp, melted

Buttermilk – 1¼ cups

Vanilla extract – 2tsp

Method:

• Whisk all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• Whisk all the wet ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until everything is well incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Heat a nonstick skillet on medium flame; add 1 tbsp oil and wipe of with a paper towel. Pour about ¼ cup batter and cook till bubbles form on the top; about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 minute.
  
• Serve warm with maple syrup and fruit.
