How to make these pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, using a whisk combine dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
  2. In another bowl, use a whisk to combine the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir the two together until just barely mixed and leaving some lumps. For this recipe it’s important to leave some lumps.
  4. Preheat a nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F and grease the surface with butter.
  5. Add 1/4 cup scoops of pancake batter (the batter will be thick) and use a cookie scoop to gently smooth the scoop into a flatter circle.
  6. Cook for a few minutes, until you see little bubbles forming on the surface.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for a couple minutes on the other side. If you peek underneath, the bottom should be golden brown.

How to freeze Pancakes

Once the pancakes have finished cooking, lay them out on a cooling rack in a single layer until completely cool. Place cooled pancakes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and place in freezer for 30 minutes, or until frozen solid. Remove pancakes off the cookies sheet and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to reheat pancakes that have been frozen

Reheat pancakes by wrapping them in a slightly damp paper towel for 1-2 minutes in the microwave.
