Eggless Whole wheat Pancake recipe

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.

Whole wheat pancake

  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)
      
     
     

Method:

• In a bowl add the whole wheat flour, plain flour, baking soda, sugar and butter. 
• Add the milk and mix this without any lumps. Add little water if necessary to bring this to a idli batter consistency. 

• 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.

• 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.

• Serve hot, with sliced banana  and pancake syrup. 

Notes:

1. Plain flour can be replaced with thinai (foxtail millet) flour. 
2. You can serve with strawberries and blueberries too.
