Things You'll Need:

• DRY INGREDIENTS
• 3/4 cu whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cu all purpose flour
• 2 t baking powder
• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• WET INGREDIENTS
• 2 eggs
• 1 cu low-fat buttermilk
• 1/1 cu 1% milk

• 1 skillet
• wire whisk

1. The first thing you will need to do in order to make your healthy buttermilk pancakes is to mix together all of your dry ingredients in a bowl. After you have finished combining the dry ingredients, you will want to use a wire whisk to whisk them together. This chore will take the place of sifting your flours.

2. The next step in preparing your buttermilk pancakes is to combine your dry ingredients. Grab a bowl and whisk them all togehter. The reaction between the buttermilk and the baking soda is what will give your buttermilk pancakes their fluffy consistency.

3. Finally, you will need to add your wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Be extra-careful so that you DO NOT thouroughly mix your buttermilk pancake mixture until it is completely smooth. The lumpy texture is what you are looking for when cooking pancakes, if the mix is too smooth, your pancakes will be tough - YUCK!.

4. Once you you have combined your wet and dry ingredients and you have a good, lumpy texture, you will want to pour them into a skillet sprayed with a butter flavored cooking oil, and then turn them when they start to bubble. You're Done!
