Ingredients

• 1 cup Wild rice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter, for greasing skillet

Directions

Step 1

Cook the wild rice according to package instructions, then let it cool completely. You will need about 1 cup of cooked wild rice for the recipe.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold the cooled cooked wild rice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.

Step 7

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter if needed.

Step 8

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the wild rice pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
