I have made my own pancakes for decades and am really pleased with my current recipe. We mill our own wheat in our house and I have made these with red hard, white hard, and white soft wheats. They are all excellent and here we go.
Recipe:
1 cp slightly rounded wheat
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 tbsp backing powder
2 eggs
2 tbsp oil
Buttermilk, approximately 1 cp, maybe more maybe less depends on how you like your batter consistency. I make mine slightly thin so I get a lighter cake and all around here like it.
1 cp fresh or frozen blueberrys
Mill your wheat. It will give you about 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cp of flour. I have a Whisper Mill and it has lasted going on 15 yrs.
And the flour.
Add all dry ingredients and whisk together. Add eggs, oil and 1/2 cp buttermilk and whisk together. Add more buttermilk and whisk till you get your consistency you desire.
Start heating your griddle when you start putting the recipe together. I heat mine to a medium to medium low temp so when you sprinkle a few drops of water on the griddle they sizzle but not violently.
I use bacon drippings to lightly cover the griddle. Now before you say anything "Bacon is a vegetable".
Laddle your batter on the griddle and add some blueberry's and cook about 2 min per side
Put a couple of pieces of smoked bacon on the side and that was supper last night.
My wife and both like breakfast for supper occasionally and this is one of our favorites.
