  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, 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. Do not overmix.

  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
