Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch cream of tartar
Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, oil, buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Mix together until flour is just incorporated.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter until just incorporated. let stand for 10 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat or griddle to about 375. Brush with butter and heat until the butter just begins to sizzle. Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan or griddle and cook until bubbles appear on the top surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Flip over and cook until the bottom is lightly golden brown. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven.
I make the plain ones for the kids and have also added blueberries to them and tried a banana nut version too. For the banana nut depending how much batter I have I use 1 ripened banana (mashed) and 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts.
