How to Make Grandma Andersen's Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups whole wheat flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don't overmix!
  4. Gradually add 1 cup water, or more as needed, until the batter is thin enough to pour easily from a spoon. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, jam, or peanut butter.
