Blender Batter Pancakes and Waffles

Recently I have started mixing my pancakes and waffles in the blender. I am not sure if this will work in all blenders, but it works great in my Vita-Mix. I am able to pour the batter right from the blender to the skillet. My batter is lump free and clean up is a breeze. I blend the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients. You could probably reverse the order too.

I have included my waffle recipe if you are interested.

Whole Wheat Waffles

3 Cups whole-wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ cup oil
¼ cup honey
4 eggs
3 cups buttermilk

Combine all dry ingredients, then blend in all the liquid ingredients. For those of you who mill their own wheat, we find that Kamut makes some of the best waffles we have ever tasted.

Blender batter pancakes works for me, what works for you? Stop by Shannon’s blog and check out Works for me Wednesday.

   I have a hand held mixer so thing get blended nicely. I use a soup laddle to pour my batter.

   Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t pancake batter SUPPOSED to be lumpy? (I’m not the best cook, so I don’t know). That is just what I’ve always thought. Also… I have wanted a Vita-Mix for a LONG time! I’m totally jealous!

   Organized Mom-
   Yes, I there should be a few lumps but not so lumpy that you are biting into flour when you eat your pancake. The vita mix blends to a perfect consistency.

   Boy those sure look tasty! I’ve been making my batter in a pitcher because you can pour it right in, this is one step closer to deliciousness!
