Pancakes i make rarely in my kitchen as only Varsha likes it a lot. Me Suresh and Varun are a not a great fan of pancakes. I have given this same recipe, replacing flour with millet flour in my Millet cookbook 2 years back. So i thought i will try a pancake recipe using whole wheat flour. I just tried replacing half of the flour with whole wheat and turned out pretty well. These pancakes turned out soft and fluffy and perfect one to serve for breakfast . Try this at home and let me know how it turned out.

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 Mins | Yields: 4

Whole wheat flour 1/4 cup Plain flour 1/4 cup Baking soda 1/2 tsp Sugar 2 tsp Butter 1 tsp Milk 1/2 cup Water 1 -2 tblsp Cinnamon powder a pinch (optional)

  • If adding cinnamon powder add at this stage.
  • Keep it aside for 15 minutes.
  • Mix again and heat a pan.
  • Pour a small ladle of pancake batter to the pan . Do not spread this much like a dosa. Pancakes will be thick as Indian ootapams.
pancake 2 - 3
  • When one side is cooked flip the pancakes, like how we do for dosa.
  • No need to add oil or butter to the pancakes. We have added butter to the pancake while mixing, so need.
  • Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the batter too.
pancake 3 - 4
  • Serve hot, with sliced banana and pancake syrup.
