How to Make Wheat Germ Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 cup buttermilk.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour, ¼ cup wheat germ, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ 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 form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
