Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipe

Making pancakes can be a bit difficult if your inexperienced in making them but once you learn how to making them they are actually quite easy to make.   Below is my recipe and my step by step instructions for making some delicious and fluffy whole wheat pancakes that your whole family will love.  They are made with all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and wheat germ in addition to other ingredients.











Ingredients:

1 cup of whole wheat flour
2/3 cups of all purpose flour
1/3 cup of toasted wheat germ
1 teaspoons of baking soda
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of sugar
2 cups of 2% lowfat milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
4 tablespoons of butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for griddle

Instructions:

Take a medium mixing bowl and add in your whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar and whisk your ingredients together.  Now take a large mixing bowl and add in your milk, eggs, vanilla extract and butter and mix your ingredients together until they are fully mixed together.   Now, take your dry ingredients and slowly add them in a little at a time and mix your ingredients together until all of your dry ingredients are mixed in with your wet.  Make certain that you do not over mix or your batter will be tough, so just  mix just until your ingredients have come together and you have a nice batter.

Now preheat your oven to 175 degrees F.  The oven will be used to keep your pancakes warm while you are making different batches.

Then, take a griddle and pour just a bit of vegetable oil on the griddle and use a paper towel to coat the griddle lightly. Now place your griddle over a medium heat. When your surface is hot take a ladle and pour about 1/3 of a cup of your batter onto the griddle and spread your batter into a circle using the back of your ladle.  You will want to spread your pancakes about 3 inches apart. You will have to work in batches.

While the whole wheat pancakes cook you will notice that there are some bubbles in the batter.  You know your pancakes are ready to be flipped when the bubbles begin to pop.  When they are ready to be flipped take a spatula and gently flip them over and then cook your pancakes until they are golden brown on the bottom. This should only take 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.  Then remove your pancakes and place them on a baking sheet and place your baking sheet in your preheated oven to keep warm.  Now, continue to make your pancakes as shown above, adding more vegetable oil when needed, until you have used up all of your batter.  Then serve your whole wheat pancakes with butter and some maple syrup.
