Whole Grain Buttermilk Pancakes With 5 Variations Food

WHOLE-GRAIN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add whole-grain flour, buttermilk, milk, eggs, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter all at once. With a large whisk, quickly beat the mixture in 10-15 large strokes all at once or until batter is mixed. Very important: do not overmix and once the batter is mixed, do not mix again!
• Let the batter rest while prepping the griddle. This will allow the baking powder to react and the batter to rise. REMEMBER do not mix it again or you will flatten all that air and end up with flat, tough pancakes.
• Heat a nonstick griddle to medium for a couple of minutes until a drop of water sizzles on it (about 350 degrees F on my griddle, but every griddle will be different).
• Scoop batter into rounds on the preheated griddle. I use my #20 cookie scoop to portion out the batter which holds about 3-4 tablespoons and makes about a 4-inch diameter pancake.
• Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set, 1-3 minutes, depending on the heat of the griddle.
• Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or so until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve immediately or keep warm in a 175 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes. Or see recipe notes for freezing instructions.

WHOLE-GRAIN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH 5 VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Stir together Make-Ahead Whole-Grain Pancake Mix, buttermilk, eggs, and butter until just blended and smooth. If making one of the variations, fold the ingredients into the batter.
• Heat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; butter. Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake on griddle. Cook until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until plump and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 175°F oven up to 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and honey. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Check to see if it's hot by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. They should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
• Add a little butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet; repeat to cook as many at one time as you can, leaving space for each pancake to spread.
• Cook until bubbles form and start to burst, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate as they finish, and serve immediately with maple syrup and more butter on top, if you like.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, oil and eggs together in a medium bowl. Make a small well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Whisk until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy.
• Heat a pancake griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl or stir to coat the surface. Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancakes when the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges are lightly browned and set. Cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the griddle or skillet and continue until all the batter is used, adding more butter as needed.
• Serve the pancakes with your choice of chocolate syrup (or melted chocolate ganache), berries, maple syrup and/or whipped cream.

WHOLE-GRAIN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Resist overmixing--it will make the pancakes tough.
• Let the batter sit, without stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes. As the batter rests, the baking powder forms bubbles that create fluffy pancakes and the gluten in the flour relaxes to make them more tender.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Without stirring the batter, measure out pancakes using about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and pour into the pan (or onto the griddle). Cook until the edges are dry and you see bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray and reducing the heat as needed.

WHOLE GRAIN-BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter and molasses in large bowl to blend. Add dry ingredients; mix just until blended. Heat griddle or heavy large skillet over medium heat. Brush with butter. Working in batches, drop scant 1/4 cup batter onto griddle for each pancake. Cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side, brushing griddle with more butter as needed. Serve with syrup.

Steps:

• Stir all dry ingredients together to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter. Pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients and stir just until blended (a few lumps are OK).
• Heat a griddle over moderate heat and grease lightly. Drop spoonfuls about 1/4 cup in volume onto griddle and cook until surface of pancake dulls and bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until other sides browns, about 2 minutes and remove to a plate. Keep pancakes warm while cooking remaining batter and serve with warm maple syrup.
