Serves 8.

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Apple butter or jam, if desired
  1. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix well using a fork.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat egg lightly with a fork. Add buttermilk and vanilla; stir.
  3. Lightly coat a nonstick griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat (until a drop of water dances on it).
  4. Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Pour in buttermilk mixture; stir together just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
  5. Pour sufficient batter to make thin 4-inch pancakes. Cook until you see bubbles in the batter; flip gently and cook until you see the steam rising; remove to a plate.
  6. Spread with apple butter or jam. Roll up to eat with your hands. May also be served traditionally with butter and syrup
