Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   To start your pancake adventure, grab a large mixing bowl and combine whole wheat flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Whisk these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, creating a fluffy base for your pancakes.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and three tablespoons of vegetable oil until everything is fully combined and smooth.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir just until they’re combined.

5. Step 5

   Remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, and we want them light and fluffy! Next, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for about five minutes.

6. Step 6

   This is where the magic happens! For each pancake, pour about one-third cup of batter into the hot skillet.

7. Step 7

   Use a spoon to spread the batter into a nice circular shape, just like a painter creating a masterpiece.

8. Step 8

   Cook the pancakes until the bottom turns a beautiful golden brown and bubbles start to form on the surface, which should take about one and a half to two minutes.

9. Step 9

   When you see those bubbles, it’s time to flip! Cook the other side for an additional two minutes, or until it’s set in the middle and perfectly browned.

10. Step 10

    As you stack your pancakes high, imagine the delicious toppings you’ll add—maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen and get ready to savor every bite of your homemade pancakes!.
