FOUR-GRAIN PANCAKES



Four-Grain Pancakes image

I've worked with probably 20 pancake recipes and this is the best pancake I've ever made, whole grain or otherwise. It's light and tender, even when cold, and has a little heft and body from the oatmeal and cornmeal plus a bewitching fragrance from the nutmeg. The original is from the 1997 edition of Joy of Cooking, where it's called Four-Grain Flapjacks (just to confuse Brits). I usually halve the recipe, which works well.

MULTIGRAIN PANCAKES

Easy, satisfying, and full of whole grain goodness! Top as desired- I like mine with peanut butter and sugar-free syrup. Also, any chopped fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips could be added to the batter.

FOUR GRAIN PANCAKES OR WAFFLES



Four Grain Pancakes or Waffles image

I don't know where this recipe came from, but I am so glad I found it in my "to try" pile. I made them as pancakes for breakfast today. They have a nice texture, not heavy at all (which I was worried about). They make a nice change from traditional pancakes. I did tinker with the recipe a bit, so I put those changes in as an option.

MULTIGRAIN PANCAKES

Multigrain pancakes can be dense and heavy, but these aren't: The yogurt keeps them light and moist without adding a lot of fat.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3/4 cup nonfat milk
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons nut oil (such as almond or roasted peanut) or vegetable oil
Unsalted butter, for brushing
Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, milk, lemon zest, nutmeg and oil and whisk until combined. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.
