This twist on egg and toast makes a great breakfast, lunch or snack. Healthy (if you are using whole grain bread) and full of protein, this recipe works great with somewhat stale bread.

Please excuse the pictures, I am not sure what I was thinking using the patterned plate!

Whole Wheat Pancakes

These delicious and fluffy pancakes can be made with 100% whole wheat flour. I used 3 cups ground kamut and 1 cup soft white wheat.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4  cups whole wheat flour

Mix all the liquid ingredients, beat for one minute on high. Mix in sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix in flour until batter is smooth but thick.

Cook on a hot (350 degree) buttered griddle.
