These are the lightest, most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes ever! Nutritious too!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup wheat kernels/wheat berries (or 1.25 cup flour of your choice)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 egg whites
- 2 Tbsp honey or sugar
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Put milk and *wheat kernels/wheat berries in blender and blend until smooth. (In my Blendtec, this takes about 1 min and 10 seconds, but could take up to 4 minutes in other blenders) Test by rubbing the batter between your fingers to ensure it isn’t gritty
- Add remaining ingredients and blend for just a few seconds
- Pour straight onto a preheated, lightly-oiled griddle at 350 – 375 degrees
** If you are substituting flour for wheat kernels, mix all ingredients in the blender at the same time for just a few seconds until mixed.
Notes for Pancakes
- Places you can find wheat kernels/wheat berries: Bulk Barn, Earth’s General Store, Blush Lane Organic Market.
- Make sure your pan has an even coating of oil to ensure even browning of pancakes. Use paper towel to apply evenly.
- To check whether you pan is ready, place 1 Tbsp of batter in your preheated pan for 1 minute and flip to check for doneness.
To keep pancakes hot as you take them off the griddle:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Place a rack inside a baking pan.
- Place pancakes on rack in pan and keep warm in oven.
- Do not stack pancakes or put them directly on a pan without a rack.
