Outstanding

Many of our online reviewers have called these fluffy, flavorful pancakes the best they've ever tasted. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200º oven while preparing remaining pancakes, then serve them with heated maple syrup.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 pancakes, 2 tablespoons syrup, and 1 1/2 teaspoons butter)

Ingredients

  • 3/4  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 3/4  cup  whole wheat flour
  • 3  tablespoons  sugar
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1 1/2  cups  low-fat buttermilk
  • 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
  • 1  large egg
  • 1  large egg white
  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4  cup  maple syrup
  • 3  tablespoons  butter

Preparation

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine buttermilk, oil, egg, and egg white, stirring with a whisk; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

Heat a nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Serve with syrup and butter.

These pancakes are amazingly yummy! I made 2 changes. I replaced the oil with 3 TBS of flaxseed meal and I added 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries. Oh, and I was short on buttermilk so I topped it off with 1/2 c of 1% milk. Very fluffy and filling. 1/4 c per pancake gave me 10 pancakes so only 5 servings. Batter is very thick.02/02/10

I was worried about my kids not liking the whole wheat, but they begged for more and said they were the "best pancakes ever." I changed three minor things. I substituted 1 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice added to a scant 1 1/2 cup milk (sit for 5 min.) for the buttermilk. I also substituted 3 Tbs. ground flaxseed for the oil, and added 1/2 tsp. vanilla for flavor. The flaxseed will make them darker than with oil, but doesn't change the flavor and adds Omega 3s to make them healthier.01/17/10
