Ingredients
- 1 cup Cream of Wheat (instant or regular)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cream of Wheat, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Gently fold in the melted butter until incorporated. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the Cream of Wheat to absorb some of the moisture.
Step 5
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
