Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • Butter or Oil for greasing the griddle

Instructions

  1. Preheat your griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

  7. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles appear on the surface.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while finishing the rest of the batch.
