For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Fresh berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts can be folded into the batter for added texture and flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to reach 2.25 cups. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. For best results, use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and result in tough pancakes.

Sep 11, 2024I was skeptical about whole wheat pancakes, but these are surprisingly fluffy and delicious! I used almond milk instead of buttermilk and they turned out great.
