Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes

By -

Twenty years ago when we bought a cool mixer/blender combo, we attended cooking classes for a few weeks to learn how to use it properly.  We learned how to make these pancakes in that class.  They are different than pancakes made with white flour.  They are thinner, have some crunch when you chew them, and they're FUN to watch when they're made!  They taste good as well.  This morning my children ate every bit as many of these as they do the regular Buttermilk Pancakes I usually make.

You DO need RUMFORD brand baking powder for this recipe.  Trust me, the other brands don't work.  I don't know exactly why, other than Rumford doesn't have aluminum in it, but ONLY Rumford works like it should.  When the batter is all finished mixing, it will rise in the blender jar... be sure your griddle is hot and ready to pour onto!  Other baking powders, at least all the others I've tried, won't make this rise in the jar and get plenty of air bubbles in to lighten it.   If I had my "druthers" I'd always get Clabber Girl baking powder because my Mom always did and I love the picture on the label. LOL  I do have both kinds in my cupboard.

Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes

1 1/2 C. buttermilk
3/4 C. whole wheat kernels
2 T. heaping, cornmeal
1 T. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 C. butter, cut in pieces
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 T. Rumford baking powder

Preheat griddle!  Put buttermilk and whole wheat kernels in blender and liquify for 3 minutes.  Add cornmeal, brown sugar, eggs and butter.  Liquefy for 30 seconds.  Add soda and baking powder and blend for about 3 seconds.   Quickly pour onto hot griddle and bake as you would with regular pancakes.  When the edges start to look a tad dry they're ready to turn.

Serve with syrup, peanut butter and jelly or your favorite topping!

If you are trying to rotate your food storage wheat, these are a great option for using it!

    Just made these today! They are awesome! I love that they have no flour and use brown sugar because we dont use anything white for food in our house. Ooooooh and the making powder from Sam's club has no aluminum either. It's called Argo. I love your blog Joy. The recipes from Lois are my favorite. I love and miss her and can often sense her presence in my life. When I found Joan's bread recipe I was very happy. We were very good friends and walked together every morning. She had this sixth sense and when I was not feeling well, she came over with a loaf of bread and chicken soup. I miss my Firth family like crazy.

Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

The other day I needed a dinner that I could make ahead and leave in the oven.  I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this.  It was a hit with our entire family. I like to buy full boneless pork loins at Sam's Club and then cut them into chops or leave the size we need for a roast.  The price is usually cheapest that way and I'm all about cutting our food budget.  I keep everything in this recipe on hand (aside from the French's Fried Onions) so it is something I could throw together  spur of the moment. Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes 6-8 pork loin chops (boneless or bone-in) 6 LARGE  russet potatoes , peeled and sliced 2 10 oz. cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 3/4 C. water 3 T. onion soup base (1 package of Lipton onion soup is a little over 2 T. so just use that if you'd rather not have a package open.  I buy mine in bulk so it's easier for measuring) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt French's fried onions

Brown Rice, Broccoli and Chicken Bake

My family doesn't generally love brown rice.  They really enjoyed it in this dish though.  I started out to do a skillet dinner, but I took a little time to put it all in a pan and melt the cheese in the oven.  Next time I'm going to try just mixing it in and letting it melt in the skillet rather than sprinkling it on top. This was a tasty dinner and full of healthy ingredients.   My family requested it again! Brown Rice and Broccoli with Chicken 1 1/2 C. brown rice 3 1/4 C.chicken broth or water with 3 tsp. chicken boullion  Place in medium pan, bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Remove from heat. While the rice is cooking, saute the following in 1 T. of olive oil: 2 chicken breast, diced 1 C. onion, diced 1 C. mushrooms, sliced 2 C. broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine) When the rice is done, place it on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan .  Spread chicken and vegetables over rice.  Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken broth ove

Molasses Oatmeal Bread is a hearty (and heart healthy!) bread that is easy and delicious!  We love it toasted and spread with homemade jam.  So good!  Molasses adds a rich flavor and beautiful color. Molasses Oatmeal Bread 2 T. instant dry yeast (my favorite brand is SAF) 1/2 C. warm water Dissolve yeast in water and set aside In large bowl (or mixer bowl if you have one that will do bread), put: 2 C. quick rolled oats 2 T. oil 2 C. boiling water Stir and let sit about 10 minutes or until lukewarm.   Stir dissolved yeast, 1/2 C. molasses, and 4 tsp. salt into the oatmeal mixture.   Add about 3 cups of flour and mix well.  Stir in 2-3 cups more flour until you have a firm dough that you can knead.  Knead 5 minutes by hand or with mixer.  Place in a greased bowl, being sure to grease the top as well.   Cover and let rise until double.  About 45 minutes to an hour depending on how warm your room is.
