Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Place all ingredients into a blender in the order listed: milk, eggs, honey, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds until the batter is smooth and completely combined, with no visible flour lumps.
- Let the blender batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat (around 375°F). Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, allowing space between them for easy flipping.
- Cook pancakes until small bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry, typically 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your preferred pancake toppings.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your milk and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and fluffier pancakes.
- Blend Smartly: When adding ingredients to the blender, follow the order listed to ensure even mixing. Start with the liquids and finish with the dry ingredients.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes is crucial. It helps the whole wheat flour fully hydrate and gives the baking powder time to activate, resulting in lighter pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Preheat your griddle or skillet to around 375°F. If it’s too hot, your pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw inside. A drop of water should sizzle when the surface is ready.
- Watch for Bubbles: Cook pancakes until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry before flipping. This is a sign they’re ready to be turned!
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook the pancakes, keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel on a plate. This keeps them soft and ready to serve.
- Topping Options: Get creative with toppings! While maple syrup is a classic, consider fresh berries, yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
