How to Make Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) and set aside a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Gently spoon the dry ingredients over the egg whites.
  5. Carefully pour the buttermilk and melted butter over the dry ingredients.
  6. Gently fold the batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the hot griddle.
  9. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  10. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Transfer cooked pancakes to the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  12. Repeat steps 8-11 with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.
