Recipe: Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

Published March 21, 2007 at midnight

Makes 10 to 12 pancakes

1 1/3 cups white whole wheat or all-purpose flour

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

2 large eggs, at room temperature

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Butter and maple syrup or honey, for topping

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

In a medium-size bowl, combine both flours, the sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter. Fold in the blueberries.

Heat a griddle or large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot, or until a few drops of water sizzle on the surface. Lightly grease the griddle.

Stir the batter. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup batter onto the hot griddle.

Cook for about 2 minutes, or until many bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry. Before turning the pancakes, lift the edges to check that the undersides are golden brown.

Turn the pancakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, or until the undersides are golden brown.

Transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Transfer the pancakes to warmed serving plates and top each serving with butter and syrup.
