Ingredients

  • 2 c whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 c flour
  • 1/4 c real maple syrup or honey
  • 2 T baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 3 c milk
  • 6 T melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Beat eggs and add milk, syrup and salt.
  • Beat well.
  • Slowly drizzle in melted butter or oil mixing as you pour so the butter incorporates before it solidifies from the coolness of the milk.
  • Dump in baking powder and both flours all at once and lightly mix until just combined.
  • Batter will still be lumpy.
  • Don’t overmix or cakes won’t be tender.
  • Heat griddle on medium heat.
  • Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Drop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form on top and flip and cook other side.

Notes

Makes 24 regular size or 48 small pancakes
