How to Make Pancakes |100% Whole Grain Soft, Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes | Bread Beckers Recipe |

[@barbaramorris9184]

I made these pancakes this past week when we had 11 guests helping us for the week. None of them have ever had freshly milled anything before. I made a triple batch and they chowed down every single pancake. They are so good!! TY for sharing your insight and recipes!

[@GrainsandGrit]

That's what got me and my family hooked too!

[@deborahhicks89]

Felicia, do you have a cookbook yet? I would love to see you do one and have it sorted with recipes by the type of wheat or grain being used.

[@pegramhomeacademy9079]

I second that

[@GrainsandGrit]

Stay tuned - working on one now!!

[@marilyngodfrey868]

Growing up, sometimes my mother would surprise us, with an extra large pancake...spread with butter then strawberry jam...rolled up. One was all my tummy could hold. When she handed us our plates the pancake roll was sprinkled with powdered sugar...yum!

[@daniellemeacham3884]

I love the music you play on your channel while you cook. It’s very relaxing.

[@GrainsandGrit]

😊 thank you

[@jandcbenoy5694]

These pancakes are great! I did make the full recipe and froze the extras. To heat I placed them directly on the rack of my toaster oven and they were still great!!! Ty🥰

[@nientiendowjaol7087]

Roughly how many pancakes did your batch make? How much would be 1 serving, about 6 pancakes?

[@vanessacrelia]

I made these today! Oh my gosh they were so soft and yummy! Thank you for your time and videos. I follow you faithfully! Keep up Gods work! Us followers appreciate you! ❤

[@elizabethG633]

By the way, I use the Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe, which can make 8 to 10 pancakes at a time. One thing I have noticed, is you do not leave your pancakes cooking long enough on the first side. Pancakes should only be flipped ONE time. You really need to wait until the whole top is full of the bubbles, then flip and watch until done, usually 2 - 3 minutes. I am 69 and learned a lot from my granny over the years. She's gone now, but a lot of her methods I use in my own kitchen.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jeanburgin160]

I loved watching her to. She was the first cooking show I saw on TV wwaaaayyy back then! lol All the best!

[@zaizen4359]

Just wanted to share that I had a wonderful experience with this recipe. Thank you for showing us how to successfully make pancakes with freshly milled wheat! I didn’t have any baking powder on hand, so I did not use it. I also subbed out 3 cups of raw milk clabber instead of the buttermilk and the usually very picky eaters in my home enjoyed them! They were a hit with us adults as well of course 😊 They also smell amazing as they’re cooking on the stove!!! I followed a tip I read in the comments section about waiting until the surface is covered basically fully with bubbles before flipping, and this helped me to get a consistent result while letting me only have to flip the pancakes once. I am new to working with freshly milled grains (or grains at all for that matter) so your video tutorials are immensely useful in helping me put quality nutrition that is enjoyable to eat on the table for the people I care about. Your yeast bread video has been life changing as well!!! Thank you very much for what you do. As a side note, this recipe made way too many pancakes for our family of four-so I’ll be attempting to freeze them and reheat them in the toaster. We’ll see how it goes!! 🤞

[@GrainsandGrit]

Oh, that's great to hear. That's why I do what I do. Thanks for sharing the encouragement.

[@whatitisnt.]

Please change the title of the video to include that's it not just regular whole wheat but rather white whole wheat which is good and what I particularly searched for.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Right, it's soft white wheat and spelt.

[@SusanValles]

Thank you so much! Am new to milling and all your videos have so helped me! We made the pancakes with spelt flour added vanilla and honey and cinnamon and they were amazing!! So light and fluffy! Thanks again! Love to you and family!!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful!

[@bethp8436]

I was wanting to make this recipe with freshly milled spelt flour. I have found in making muffins with spelt flour that they taste better with Sucanat or brown sugar than honey granules. How much vanilla and honey did you add yo your batter?

[@shelleywhite2541]

I halved this recipe for 3 people and it's just stellar. I used some spelt and mostly soft white. Simply delicious. 😁

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful!

[@RTAV108]

For leftover pancakes, steam them. That way the moisture is back without having to roast them further. Same goes with leftover rice and other delicate food items.

[@desert_moon]

I have that same Bread Beckers cookbook!! Got it 16+ yrs ago when I got my NutriMill (old style). I'm a mom of many too (9 but only have 1 left at home now).

[@GrainsandGrit]

I really need to either buy a new one or dismantle it and put in page protectors. It's falling apart and some of the pages I have taped due to ripping ha I use it that much! Yay for being another big family! You know the struggle when it comes to feeding so many people on a budget and healthy too!

[@conniebranham-b9x]

@@GrainsandGritdo you advise buying this book today since it’s so old, or there others that are not relevant for today?

[@nccgolden3626]

Thank you Felicia. Pancakes were delicious. I used soft white mixed with Kamut. You mentioned that batter could be kept for up to 3 days in fridge. I put batter in glass jar with lid and next day batter was thinner n didn’t rise so wasnt fluffy like first day. Do you know why that would be. I find that steaming pancakes kept in fridge heats them nicely without drying them out 3:36

[@shelledomek8508]

Made these for the first time. My three-year-old grandson spent the night with every bite he said mmm

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful! Never had a child that didn't' love pancakes!

[@YvonneJoiner-cw8sd]

Just a note: whenever I use buttermilk for anything, I use whole-milk buttermilk. TY for your videos

[@sherrieblake8674]

Do you have a hard time finding whole milk buttermilk? We do in our area.

[@TxSusieQ99]

Good morning! I am glad you said that about your 1st few pancakes...mine have always been like that too. I thought it was just me!😊

[@richardsimms251]

Very very educational video. Thank you.

[@lizbowers5236]

Tortilla warmers are so great for keeping pancakes warm. I just use the styrofoam ones.

[@Dadsmimi]

Those look amazing! I make mine with Einkorn wheat and then slather with homemade strawberry jam!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Mmmm

[@edanna931]

These came out so yummy my kids loved them!

[@GrainsandGrit]

So glad!

[@Heather-j6t]

This recipe made its debut at our home today and it was a hit! Only change I made was I substituted butter for oil. Your trick to keep them hot was amazing! Wish I’d thought of that years ago. 😅 I love all your videos (and am sure my family appreciates them too lol! Thanks Felicia!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful!

[@angnbama]

Thanks I’m looking forward to trying these❤

[@lorisilva10784]

Look delicious!! Thanks for your videos.

[@GrainsandGrit]

My pleasure 😊

[@larrydevenney1008]

Something that my mother used to do that I love, is to stir some creamed corn into the batter. I know that it sounds strange, but it is delicious.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Interesting!

[@StarChaserRanch]

I have an awesome Nutrimill harvest grain mill. One downfall is that my flour is not so powdery. My stuff is a bit grainy. Its on the tightest setting, but I still don't have the nice powder that I am use to with store bought stuff. Any advice or recommendations? Thanks.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Mine gets pretty fine. Maybe you have a defect? I would ask customer service about that. Stone mills don't get quite as fine as impacts, but they should get pretty close.

[@conniebranham-b9x]

You’re using only Spelt to grind for pancake batter, right? (I’m very new at all of this)

[@GrainsandGrit]

No, this recipe uses soft white. But spelt is good, too!

[@conniebranham-b9x]

The recipe says soft white wheat, spelt. Confusing to me! Lol.

[@Thisisit120]

What bread cookbook would you recommend when using fresh ground wheat?

[@GrainsandGrit]

I don't have any that I can say every recipe is 100% great. However, I do recommend the Bread Beckers Recipe Collection because it is a good start. I also know Sue Becker wrote an actual book about milling your grains and included some recipes in there, but I don't have the book thus I haven't tried any of the recipes :-)

[@cherivanmeter6195]

I'm not sure about this recipe, but you mentioned reheating them. I find the toaster works really well with leftovers. Keeps them from being mushy. Might not work with whole wheat as well, though.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Great tip!

[@bcfran3g844]

I love pancakes with real maple syrup, and butter.

[@laurentyler6718]

Thank you for sharing this. Gonna do pancakes soon!

[@GrainsandGrit]

For you, I would double the recipe. This just makes enough for my family, but I also have eggs with it and the kids are still asking for more pancakes ha They INHALE these pancakes!

[@laurentyler6718]

@@GrainsandGrit Thank you, yeah I'll do that. It's great to know that you can keep the batter in the fridge overnight and up to a couple days. Never tried that before. Are they more flat the following day/s when you cook them up?

[@GrainsandGrit]

@@laurentyler6718 No, I haven't had any problem with them being flat with day-old batter. Turned out great :-) Again, just make sure you stir the batter well to incorporate anything that may have separated.

[@rhondatriplet8634]

I just love your channel! Thank you for sharing

[@GrainsandGrit]

Thanks for being here!

[@sangymoon]

So, how much sweetener?

[@terrihoernemann887]

Do you prefer winter soft wheat or spring soft wheat ? Is there a difference?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Not much difference

[@shelliefry579]

Felicia, newby question here When you make pancakes and muffins , cookies etc. do you mill the soft wheat on the pastry setting on the wonder mill?? I made cookies and they were a bit grainy hence the question.

[@GrainsandGrit]

My Wondermill is older, so there is no pastry setting. On mine, no matter what setting I put it on it's all fine flour lol I would just make sure you mill it finely. If you find a recipe too grainy, mill it finer the next time :-)

[@shelliefry579]

[@elizabethG633]

We reheat pancakes in the toaster, just like we do with left over waffles.

[@esteehammer1248]

Can you use the vinegar and milk for buttermilk in this recipe?

[@GrainsandGrit]

You can but I find it’s not as fluffy as with real cultured buttermilk 😄

[@JSGenesisDesigns]

My leftover batter had a dark coating floating on top the next day, normal? Hard red winter.

[@sherrieblake8674]

You are a great teacher. I still get confused on the actual measuring of the flour. You looked like you were measuring exactly three cups of the milled flour. I’ve read somewhere that you should use weigh about 125 grams for a cup. Thanks for your videos.😊

[@GrainsandGrit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sabrina1998]

I am just starting the journey of milled flour baking. Can you tell us if we can also create pasta with home milled flours?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes, use durum wheat. I'm hoping to post some pasta videos this summer.

I put them in my frig an when I eat next day I put in my airfryer on reheat .. great tasting still

Barley is tastier and fluffier and soft white wheat in my opinion

[@lasanimashelpinghands]

Elderberry syrup 🥰

[@heatherj3385]

I am really enjoying your videos and have been interested in switching to freshly ground grains. I would love your opinion regarding some of the reviews I am seeing on wheat from azure standard. I saw a few reviews that stated the bag of wheat berries was full of chaff and sticks and things like that. Has that been your experience? I really would want a wheat you don't have to figure out how to blow all that off.

[@GrainsandGrit]

I rarely have a problem with my Azure grains. The only one that I have seen stalks in is my hard red wheat, but it's very few. I have never had rocks or anything like that in my grains. The occasional time I see a small wheat stalk (it's less than an inch), I Just mill it up with my wheat berries or just take it out. I have NEVER had to sort through my wheat. I know other people have had different stories, but this has been my personal experience :-)
