ALTON BROWN'S FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
I've tried many whole wheat pancake recipes. Some were good, some not so good but I never had one make me say, "Wow! A truly fluffy whole wheat pancake!" until this one. Posting it here so I don't lose it! We love to eat these for dinner with some turkey sausage. Very filling!

Steps:
- Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients. (I just melted the butter slightly before adding it in with the eggs and buttermilk.).
- Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and mix just until batter comes together. Do NOT mix smooth. Set aside batter to rest for 5 minutes.
- * Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- *Test the griddle by flicking water on it. If the water dances across the surface, you're good to go.
- * Rub down the griddle with a little butter or spray with nonstick spray.
- Ladle 1 scoop of batter onto the griddle. (Batter will be thick! Just spread it out with the bottom of your ladle or the back of a spoon.) Cook until bubbles form in the batter and bottom is golden, approximately three minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden, another a minute or so. Adjust the heat as necessary as you go along. Serve while hot!

Steps:
- Sift whole wheat flour into a large bowl. Add baking powder and baking soda and mix well.
- In another bowl, mix the yogurt, milk and egg together well.
- Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir to make sure all ingredients are incorporated well.
- Leave the batter to rise for 10-15 minutes. This will let the yogurt and baking soda react and bubbles should start to appear.
- Grease a non-stick skillet and heat it up. Turn the heat down to medium before cooking the pancakes.
- Use about 1/8 cup batter for a small, 3-4" pancake. Cook until the edges of the pancake are slightly browned before flipping. Cook the other side until done.
- Adjust heat and/or regrease skillet if needed. Serve with toppings.

WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
If you know me at all, you know that I love breakfast. This recipe was born one morning when I had just a little regular flour on hand, but a lot of whole-wheat flour, and some almost-spoiled milk in the fridge. So I decided to make these delicious pancakes with the milk before it went all the way bad. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used interchangeably in this recipe, or you can make a facsimile of buttermilk yourself (see Cook's Note). Chocolate and berries are excellent on these pancakes, as are other toppings like maple syrup and whipped cream, though I admit to devouring an entire rather large pancake with no toppings at all since I just couldn't wait.

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.
PERFECT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
This recipe comes from the Tassajara Bread Book. I like whole wheat but I hate the heaviness of the finished recipe and usually halve it with white flour. This recipe defies all of that. They are so good. The genius who created this recipe should get a medal. I have used powdered milk in place of regular milk for this and found no difference. I'm saying 8 pancakes in yield, but it really varies on the size you like your pancakes. Additional note: you can substitute applesauce for the oil (use the same amount) and they turn out exactly the same with a lot less calories.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES
Even Using 100% whole wheat flour these are light and Delicious. You won't miss using All Purpose flour, I promise! Detail, details: Benefits: 30% Lower glycemic load, 25% more protein, 40% less inflammation factor rating, 500% more Fiber! http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5744/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5745/2 Topping found here: http://www.food.com/recipe.do?rid=rz.314472 - You can use soy milk if you like. - Unless you are Vegan don't skip on the Egg (yolk), it's a chemical thing. - If you cut the recipe in half, still use one egg. - It may seem tempting to not add the oil either, but again - unless it's a health thing, you can chemical reactions. You also don't have to use oil/spray on the griddle if it's non-stick this way. - Try substituting some Whole-Grain Corn meal for flour and removing vanilla for corn cakes! - I also add salt & Garlic (remove vanilla) to make dinner cakes!

Steps:
- Sift DRY ingredients: Flour, Powder, & Salt into bowl. Use the whisk to push it through the Sieve.
- Make a well (hole) in the middle of the dry ingredients.
- Pour all the WET ingredients: Honey, Milk, Egg, Oil, & Vanilla into that well.
- DO NOT OVER MIX - it should only take about 20-30 strokes. Here's how:.
- Beat only the WET ingredients for a few strokes.
- Gradually add in the DRY ingredients, pulling just the edges into the center well.
- Keep doing this until all the DRY is incorporated into the WET and you have a batter.
- KEY: Let the batter sit for at LEAST 10min, 15 is better.
- Heat griddle to 350F - On a normal stove this is MEDIUM heat. If you have a knob with numbers 1-10, Medium is about #4.
- When you know griddle is hot, and batter has sat long enough ladle batter onto the hot surface.
- I suggest doing only 1 at first to see how much it spreads. No one likes Butt-Cheek Cakes ;).
- Let the cake cook for about 1-2min (it's fast, I know!).
- When the edges have solidified and there is less steam escaping it is ready to flip.
- Pancakes WILL TELL YOU when they are ready to be flipped. If it doesn't release on its own - it's not ready.
- Once flipped it should only cook about 1 more min - but 2 is fine.
- Place cooked cakes on damp paper/dish towel in a warm oven, covered.
- Repeat for the rest of the cakes.
- If setting a 2min timer works for you, do that - so shame is playing it safe ;).
- Pair with Strawberry Balsalmic Topping ! http://www.food.com/recipe/strawberry-balsamic-topping-sweet-savory-475098.

Whole wheat & fluffy?--Yes! I couldn't believe it either until I tried it. I'm not sure if it was because I milled my own wheat or not, but I'll be making this as my standard pancake recipe now.

Pancakes are a classic breakfast comfort food that many people enjoy. They're easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. However, not all pancake recipes are created equal. Some can be bland or heavy, lacking the fluffiness and texture that make pancakes so delicious.

Alton Brown's Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes
Alton Brown's Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes recipe is a twist on the traditional pancake, providing a healthier option that still provides the desired fluffiness and texture. Whole-wheat flour is used in place of refined flour, which increases the fiber content, making it a healthier option. Brown sugar is also used instead of white sugar, which boosts the nutritional value further. This recipe proves that you don’t have to compromise on taste to make healthy choices.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
- In another bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs into the milk and melted butter or oil.
- Pour the egg/milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together until the batter is smooth.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow it to thicken slightly and develop a fluffier texture.
- Preheat your non-stick pan on medium heat.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter mixture onto the hot pan.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute or two, or until the pancake has browned on both sides.
- Repeat the process until all of the batter is gone.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings
Conclusion:
Alton Brown's fluffy whole wheat pancake recipe is a great alternative to traditional pancakes. It's a easy recipe to follow, and the pancakes come out fluffy, light, and tasty. The addition of whole wheat flour makes it a healthier option, and the switch from white to brown sugar makes it a nutritionally balanced breakfast option. By following this recipe, you can enjoy the delicious taste and texture of your favorite breakfast food without sacrificing your health.
