Alton Brown's Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

Ingredients

The Dry Goods

• 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

The Wet Works

• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used about 2 T. to cut down on fat.)

Directions

1. 1

   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.).

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   * Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.

4. 4

   *Test the griddle by flicking water on it. If the water dances across the surface, you’re good to go.

5. 5

   * Rub down the griddle with a little butter, then wipe it up with a paper towel. (I used butter-flavored canola spray instead of butter.).

6. 6

   Ladle 1 scoop of batter onto the griddle and 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!
