Whole Wheat Pancake Mix

These are absolutely great pancakes that nobody even guessed were whole wheat. 
I like to make mine with a nice layer of oil in the pan so the edges crisp up. 
I used these as gifts this year with a quart of maple syrup, fruit, brown eggs, and thick-slicked bacon. 

Whole Wheat Pancake Mix 

6 cups white whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt

Mix all ingredients together in gallon storage bag.



Whole Wheat Pancakes - Serves 6


1 cup pancake mix
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk (if you do not have buttermilk you can make it by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar
or lemon juice to milk to make 1 cup of milk. )
1 tablespoon vegetable oil


1. Beat the 1 cup mix, egg, buttermilk and oil in a large bowl or large measuring cup until just combined.  Do not overmix.
2. Heat a nice layer of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.  You want the batter to sizzle when you put it in, but not brown too quickly.  This makes the pancakes have those nice, crisp edges.
3. Pour about 2 tablespoon of the pancake mixture onto the frying pan, making 3 or 4 at a time.  Cook till the tops start looking dry.
4. Flip the pancakes.  Cook till nicely browned.
5. Serve with butter and syrup.

Mixture can also be used in a waffle iron following manufacturers directions.
