Whole Wheat Honey Pancakes


I have a big bottle of honey in my pantry, that's just begging to be used. Any suggestions??? I've been trying out a few dishes and these pancakes are my favorite so far. Pancakes are one of the easiest dishes to prepare, and we just love them. Even Anushka, who is other wise a very picky eater, doesn't turn her face away...so we have pancakes almost every weekend, or atleast she does!
I tried this recipe from Simplebites for the first time last month. The pancakes are fluffy, moist and just plain delicious. There's only a little butter and I think buttermilk does the trick. I doubled the amount of honey and yet they are not really sweet. So feel free to dunk them with your favorite syrup...I always use pure maple syrup, you can also checkout some great syrup recipes out here.

Whole Wheat Honey Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tbs butter, melted
4 tbs honey

Method:
Whisk all the dry ingredients in a big bowl.
Whisk all the wet ingredients in another bowl until well combined.
Add the wet to the dry and whisk only until just combined, lumps are okay, do not over mix.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with oil or butter.
Spoon batter about 1/3 cup at a time. Cook till the edges are set and you see lots of bubbles on the surface, 3-4 mins. Flip and cook until golden brown, about two minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite syrup.

Pancakes with Chocolate Sauce


I make pancakes quite often especially on weekends when I want to indulge or am in the mood for something sweet that I could whip up in a jiffy. I try a different recipe each time and I always love the result. You couldn't ever go wrong with this. I have always wondered why people buy the packaged mixes, yet I know a number of people who swear by 'Bisquick'. So when I saw the recipe for Homemade Bisquick at Natalie's Blog Perry's Plate, I had to make it. I'll never if Bisquick is the same but i totally loved it. The pancake were light, fluffy and soft, I didn't mind having them cold. This recipe is a keeper for sure.


I followed Natalie's recipe and just added 2 tbs extra sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla essence.
I made my favorite topping, chocolate sauce of course, to go with the pancakes. Just melted about 1/3 cup chocolate chips with 1 tbs of butter. Had 5 pancakes by myself, all the talk about dieting! But I'll save the guilt for another time:)....this was just irresistible.
