I was really excited to try these pancakes, and they did not disappoint! They were hearty with a hint of spice from the cardamom. The texture was great, and so was the flavor. Pappas recommends topping them with plain yogurt and fresh fruit, but I just couldn't resist that delicious Buttermilk Syrup from my sister's blog. At least I used the fruit, though.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup rye or oat flour
1/2 cup barley or buckwheat flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil
2 Tbs. honey or maple syrup
Notes:
- For the life of me, I couldn't find rye flour, so I used oat flour. (You can make oat flour by processing oats in a food processor.) After all, Pappas suggests, "Vary these healthful pancakes with the grains at hand." She also recommends tossing in toasted sesame seeds or toasted chopped nuts.
- Look for buckwheat flour in the bulk bin section of your grocery store.
- Look for the wheat germ in the cereal aisle.
