Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (measured)
whole wheat flour
3/4 cup (coarse-ground and measured)
baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (measured)
baking soda
3/4 teaspoon (measured)
vinegar
1/4 cup (measured)
milk
1 1/2 cups (measured)
egg
1 (beaten)
butter
2 tablespoons (melted)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and then stir in the milk, vinegar, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
3
Preheat a lightly oiled skillet or nonstick griddle over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water when it hits the surface.
4
Just before you're ready to cook, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overstir; a few lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
5
Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6
Transfer pancakes to a warm oven to keep them cozy while you finish cooking the remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of syrup, fruits, or toppings.
