I haven’t completely tested this theory, but I’m pretty sure I’m\u00a0always<\/em> in the mood for pancakes. Jay and I are big Parks and Rec fans, and this line from the first episode is one of my favorite Andy moments and one we quote to each other at least once a week:<\/p>\n

“Hey baby, if you go into the kitchen could you make me some pancakes real quick?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Also: I just spent way too much of my life trying to figure out how to get a clip of that onto the blog. Jay to the rescue. And now you can follow betondinner on Instagram! Maybe I’ll be better about updating it than my poor neglected Twitter account?<\/p>\n

So – pancakes! We’ve been trying to\u00a0limit our white flour use, so I wanted a good whole grain\u00a0pancake recipe (since limiting pancake consumption is obviously a bad idea). I’ve gone lots of different directions – grinding oats in the blender to make oat flour, buying whole wheat pastry flour, separating eggs and whipping the whites for fluffiness. Pancakes should be simple, though – I wanted ingredients I always have on hand and to avoid a bunch of extra dirty dishes. What I’ve landed on is just a very basic pancake recipe, and I use\u00a0white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. (I love this article from King Arthur about subbing in whole wheat flour <\/a>in your favorite recipes!)<\/p>\n

Here we go: whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.<\/p>\n

\"dry<\/a><\/p>\n

Combine melted butter or oil with buttermilk and an egg.<\/p>\n

\"wet<\/a><\/p>\n

Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry, and cook your pancakes!<\/p>\n

\"making<\/a>Blueberries are optional, but I love ’em! If you use frozen berries, they need to be a little thawed or there will be a pocket of undercooked\u00a0batter around the berry. But I might actually kinda love that.<\/em><\/p>\n

My mom would always give us teeny tiny “pancakes” from batter drips, and I adore them to this day. My three-year-old loves the idea of eating\u00a0six more pancakes!\u00a0<\/em>Aren’t they cute?<\/p>\n

\"teeny<\/a><\/p>\n

These whole wheat pancakes are easy to throw together and great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – so make some pancakes real quick this weekend!<\/p>\n
