Blender Whole grain PancakesThis one uses whole grains of wheat. It sounds weird, but makes good pancakes.
soak 1 cup soft red wheat in 3-4 cups warm water overnight, about 8 hours. (soft wheat has a lower protein content and will make light pancakes,while hard red works, but it is a little tricky to get a fluffy end result. I love these with soft white wheat if you can find it.)
Drain wheat well. (don't soak longer than 18 hours, or it will be funky!)
Put wheat and 1 cup organic vanilla soymilk (or regular milk works too!)
Blend 3 minutes on Liquify setting
Leave blender on, just open the little top thing (sorry this is so techincal)
then add 2 eggs
2 T expeller pressed oil (or reg. vegetable oil)
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1T honey or 2T sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
dash of cinnamon plus
1/2 tsp fresh orange zest (microplane)
Continue to blend about 2 minutes. Total 5 minutes blending. If you don't blend long enough, the wheat will be chunky instead of a smooth batter.
Pour right from blender onto a hot griddle. Yields about 12 4 inch pancakes.
