Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Large Bowl
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups whole wheat flour or AP flour
  • ½ cup flour (BSG, your favorite craft brewery's spent grain flour)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1½ cups milk of choice
  • 1 egg*
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted, plus more for the skillet
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup berries* blueberries*, strawberries*, raspberries*, etc
  • 1 banana sliced (optional)
  • honey* or maple syrup*

Instructions
 

  • Whisk flours, sugar, baking powder and the salt in a medium bowl, set aside.
  • Warm the milk until lukewarm, not hot (you should be able to keep your finger submerged for 10 seconds).
  • Whisk milk, butter, egg, and the vanilla together until blended.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk mixture into the well and stir with a fork until mixed and only small clumps of flour remain. Do not over mix batter. Note: The batter will be quite thick. If it is unreasonably thick, add 1 to 2 tbsp more milk to thin it out a little.
  • Gently fold in your berries.
  • Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat. The pan is ready if when you splatter a little water onto the pan surface, the water dances around the pan and eventually evaporates.
  • Lightly brush skillet with melted butter. Spoon a ¼-cup of the batter onto the skillet and gently spread into a 4-inch circle. (If the batter is thick, you may need to use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle).
  • When the edges look dry and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancakes, turn over, about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve warm with maple syrup*, bananas or other toppings.
