Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or additional melted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes. Space the pancakes apart to allow for spreading.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip them carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, yogurt, or a pat of butter.
