Servings: 14 pancakes
Calories: 117kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour* see note
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk until just combined, being careful to not over-mix. A few lumps will remain in the batter but you shouldn't see streaks of flour. The batter will be thick.
- Heat an electric griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. If desired, grease the griddle or skillet with butter.
- Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the griddle. Let pancakes cook on the first side until bubbles form and the pancake bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook them on the second side until golden, about 2 minutes. Serve pancakes with maple syrup, if desired.

Notes
- I like to make this recipe with 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of white whole wheat flour. Regular whole wheat will also work.
- You can make this recipe with 2 cups of all-purpose flour if you don't have whole wheat flour. Be sure to use 2 cups of flour total.
- Extra pancakes freeze well, wrapped airtight, for up to 3 months. Thaw and warm before serving. You can thaw pancakes in the microwave, on the counter, or overnight in the refrigerator.
