Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh milled flour 360g I really love to use soft white wheat for these, but you can play around with the wheat variety your family loves!
- 2 TBSP sugar 24g
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2&1/4-2&1/2 cup milk 540g-600g I you love buttermilk pancakes, you can sub buttermilk here.
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted, melted butter or oil 52g
- *optional- any mix-ins you desire
Instructions
- Firstly, mill your flour. (I really love to use soft white wheat for these, but you can play around with the wheat variety your family loves!)
- Preheat your cooking surface, whether you are using a griddle, a skillet, or cast iron pan it will need to be preheated to 350*F. (Don't turn the heat way up, or this will burn the outside of your pancakes and they will be raw in the middle. )
- Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt to the milled flour, and stir to combine.
- Then, in a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then mix just until incorporated.
- Allow the batter to sit for 10-15 minutes while your cooking surface preheats. This will also allow the freshly milled flour to absorb the liquids, and the bran to soften.
- Lightly oil your cooking surface, and using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the preheated cooking surface.
- If you are adding mix-ins, you can sprinkle them immediately onto the uncooked side of the pancake batter.
- Cook the pancake on the first side until it gets all bubbly, and the edges start to look cooked. This should take around 2-4 minutes.
- Then, flip the pancake over and cook for about 1-2 more minutes, until fully cooked.
- Remove them from the cooking surface, and serve warm.
- Lastly, Enjoy!
Notes
These are best served warm right after cooking. But, these fresh milled flour pancakes also freeze beautifully! Let the pancakes cool completely, then place them in a freezer safe bag or container. They will last in the freezer for 3-4 months. These are super handy to have on hand for a quick bite to eat!
