Best-ever Whole Grain Pancakes

From the Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Servings: 15

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) quick-cooking (not instant) rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) multigrain flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) wheat germ
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp (50 mL) vegetable oil

Preparation:

In bowl, combine 1 cup (50 mL) of the buttermilk with rolled oats; let stand for 10 minutes.

In large bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In small bowl, whisk together remaining buttermilk, egg and 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil. Add to dry ingredients along with rolled oats mixture; stir just until combined.

Lightly brush large nonstick skillet with some of the remaining oil; heat over medium heat. Pour in batter by 1/4 cupfuls (50 mL) for each pancake, spreading with spatula to 4-inch (10 cm) diameter; cook until underside is golden and bubbles break on top and don't fill in, about 2-1/2 minutes.

Turn pancakes and cook until underside is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Stack pancakes, separated by waxed paper, and freeze in resealable freezer bag for up to 2 weeks. Reheat in toaster.)
