Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare cream of wheat according to the package instructions for one serving; measure out 3/4 cup of the prepared cream of wheat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a small bowl, combine the 3/4 cup prepared cream of wheat and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk; stir to remove lumps and make a uniform mixture.
- Add the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the cream of wheat/buttermilk mixture and stir to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is mostly smooth; a few small lumps are okay.
- Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-low heat until hot. Lightly oil the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or use cooking spray.
- Pour portions of batter onto the hot pan to form pancakes of your desired size.
- Cook each pancake until bubbles form on the top and the edges begin to look set, then flip.
- Cook the flipped pancakes until the bottom is lightly browned and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Lightly re-oil the pan as needed and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Notes
If you spray your pancake turner with a nonstick spray it helps prevent the uncooked part of the pancake from sticking to the turner and flipping the pancake is made much easier.
If your pan is oiled well, your pancakes should not be sticking.
If the temperature is just right your pancakes should have a beautiful golden color.
You can keep pancakes warm by putting them on a wire rack on a baking sheet and placing them in the oven on either a warm setting or the lowest temperature setting.
