Great Whole Wheat (freshly Milled) Pancakes

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, freshly milled
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 3/4 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 tablespoon butter, not part of batter but to butter pan

Recipe

• 1 in one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• 2 in another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• 3 quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• 4 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).
