Gleanings of Wheat

I got another one from my Martha Stewart recipe book . I made this last night for dinner and the kids declared that they were the best pancakes they'd ever had. I guess they like buttermilk? 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 3 cups buttermilk (I made buttermilk using this recipe ) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps. Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess. Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour ...

So, my trip got extended a bit when I decided to swing by Nashville on the way home from Texas and further decided to stay on until Tuesday morning. I freelance so it isn't like I have an office I need to be at. Yesterday my friend and I went out for breakfast (at 2pm) to a place called The Pancake Pantry . Guys, seriously, if you go to Nashville you have to try this place out. The selection of pancakes is insane, and you can mix and match different ones. I got the Georgia Peach Pancakes.

I think I'm going to make pancakes just so I can try this one with the kids! In fact, I think I will for lunch. The recipe for the pancakes is here . 1 cup milk 3/4 cup whole wheat berries 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 eggs dash of salt peanut butter raisins apple chunks shredded coconut 1.

Add baking powder, brown sugar, eggs, and salt to the blender. Replace lid and blend for 1 minute on low. 3. Spoon batter onto a hot greased griddle. Flip pancakes once during cooking (pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles on top stay open). Cook pancakes for several minutes, until done. To assemble the pizza: 1.
