Whole Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup(s) flour, all-purpose
  • 3/4 cup(s) flour, whole-wheat pastry, or whole-wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg(s)
  • 1 cup(s) buttermilk, low-fat
  • 3/4 cup(s) milk, fat-free
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • cooking spray
  • 16 ounce(s) strawberries, fresh (2 pints), hulled, or 4 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup, pure
  • sugar, powdered, confectioners' (optional)

Preparation

For the Pancakes:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, nonfat milk, honey, and vanilla.

Coat a large nonstick griddle or skillet with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-low flame. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancakes when they are golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming on top, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1 1/2 minutes. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven as you finish cooking the remaining ones.

For the Strawberry Sauce:
Place the strawberries in a food processor and process them into a chunky puree. Transfer the puree to a small saucepan over a low flame and heat just until they are warm. Stir in the lemon juice and maple syrup.

Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place the pancakes on top, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if using, and serve.

Makes twelve 4-inch pancakes and 1 1/3 cups strawberry sauce. 

Serving size: 3 pancakes and 1/3 cup sauce.
