WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Serve and enjoy!

100% WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl; pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (batter may seem a bit thick).
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto hot skillet and use a spoon to spread the pancake a bit. Cook until browned and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

FRUIT-TOPPED WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Beat milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons melted Country Crock® Spread in medium bowl with wire whisk. Slowly whisk milk mixture into flour mixture just until combined; set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon Country Crock® in skillet, then drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls. Cook pancakes, turning once, until done. Repeat with remaining batter adding additional Spread to the skillet as needed. Serve pancakes topped with additional Spread, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Make a well (hole) in the center of the dry ingredients and drop in the buttermilk, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl enough butter around the pan until it is well coated. Add pancake batter using a soup ladle.
• When the pancakes have begun to turn golden brown on the bottom and bubbly on the top, flip them over to cook the other side.
• Serve with warm pure maple syrup and fresh fruit. And don't forget to freeze the leftovers for another day!

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking powder and almonds.
• Whisk together the honey, milk and oil.
• Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
• Add milk mixture to the flour, stir gently to form a batter - do not beat or over mix.
• Fold in the beaten egg whites gently.
• Let it rest for a few minutes.
• While it is resting combine your berries and banana with the Splenda. Refrigerate the fruit until ready to serve.
• Ladle your batter by spoonfuls onto a non stick skillet over medium heat, when bubbles start to form on one side flip and cook the underside.
• Remove and keep warm in the oven until all the pancakes are cooked.
• Serve the pancakes with the fruit on top with a generous topping of Mascarpone or whipped cream.

GREAT WHOLE WHEAT (FRESHLY MILLED) PANCAKES

Steps:

• In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Cook's note: I usually "jumpstart" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).
