Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of vegetable oil or butter.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake.
Step 6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or a dollop of whipped cream.
