Pancake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole grain flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup on top.
