Alton Brown's Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes image

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!

Time 15m

Yield 12 4-in pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used about 2 T. to cut down on fat.)

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!
