    Ingredients

    • Spelt flour- You can buy the spelt flour already ground. Or if you are like me and like to grind your grinds, my Nutrimill is my favorite, you can buy your grains from Azure Standard. They have great prices and I have loved their quality so far. Read this post for spelt flour substitutions you can use.
    • Baking powder and soda- you will use both for leaveners in this recipe.
    • Salt- it only takes a touch, but is well worth it.
    • Buttermilk
    • Oil or butter- if you are using butter, make sure and melt it first.
    • Eggs

    How To Make

    Start by mixing your dry ingredients in a small bowl, then set it aside. Next mix the wet ingredients. Combine the 2 and whisk only until they are combined. If it is a little lumpy, no big deal.

    Heat your griddle to medium-high heat. Once it is heated, brush with butter, then add the pancakes.

    Wait until it is bubbly on the edges, gently lift to check, then flip when they are golden brown.

    Cook on the other side until it is golden brown as well. I love to top mine with butter and pure maple syrup! That is it and you are done!

    Notes

    • There are a few things to note in this recipe. If you are new to whole grains, I would suggest you use half-spelt flour and half all-purpose flour.
    • If you like thicker pancakes, I make mine a little on the thin side, and add in an extra ⅓ cup flour.
    • With the pancake batter DO NOT MIX UNTIL IT IS perfectly smooth. This will make the pancakes tough. I like to leave small lumps in mine.
    • Make sure your griddle is hot before adding the pancakes. If not, they will start to stick to the griddle and make a mess.
    • For the toppings, let me share a few ideas. You can keep it simple as I did, butter and maple syrup.
    • You can also top it with your favorite nut butter and leave it like that, high protein. Or you can use your sweetener of choice, honey, maple syrup, etc.
    • Or how about topping with fresh fruits? Bananas, berries, or even sweetened apples are delicious.
    • Nuts and seeds are other great options. They will add nutritional value and add flavor as well. They can also be mixed right into your batter.
    • Nutella also is one of my kids favorite toppings if you are into that.

    Can I freeze these pancakes?

    You can. Lay them flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment to freeze. Once they are frozen, I like to store them in a gallon ziplock bag in the freezer. They will stay good for up to a month as long as they are stored well. When you are ready, you can microwave, or let them thaw and heat them on the griddle.

    Equipment

    • electric griddle

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups spelt flour if you like thicker pancakes, add an extra ⅓ cup of flour.
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups buttermilk
    • 2 eggs
    • ¼ cup oil or melted butter

    Instructions
     

    • Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix well.
    • Add the 2 together and whisk until they are combined. With pancakes, remember you do not need to overmix the batter. In fact, small lumps in the batter are good.
    • Heat your griddle to 375 degrees. Once it is heated, brush with the butter and scoop on the pancakes. Let them start to bubble around the edges, then flip when they are golden brown.
    • Do the same on the other side, and finish cooking the rest of the pancakes.
    • That is it! You are done. Go enjoy those pancakes!

      This recipe was really good and will save it. It also makes quite a few pancakes which is a bonus for the freezer or the next day.
      Thank you,
