Pancakes on the Beach


Here's a Phase 2 recipe from the newly released South Beach Diet Cookbook.

Buckwheat Pancakes
Makes 12 pancakes

Buckwheat sounds like a grain, but it is really a summer annual. It is often planted by beekeepers, because the flower is very high in nectar. The popularity of the buckwheat pancake has declined since the 1950s, but there's no reason not to try them today!

Ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, egg, and baking powder, mixing until evenly blended. Add the water, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and stir until only small lumps remain.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Working in batches, pour the batter into the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is browned. Turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Repeat to make a total of 12 pancakes.

Ok,here's my problem.

I want to make whole wheat pancakes. JUST whole wheat. Every recipe that I have found so far has called for a mix of half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour. Does anybody know of a recipe that calls for ONLY whole wheat flour? Thanks!

Hi Jazz,

Here's a really good recipe -- it uses oatmeal and wheat germ in addition to whole wheat flour, but hopefully it's close to what you're looking for:

Hope that helps!
