Did you know whole wheat white flour has the same nutritional value as whole wheat flour? It’s just a softer wheat, making the flour lighter in texture and flavor – I’m a big fan!
Eat up, enjoy your family this weekend, make some pancakes. And pssst – don’t forget the syrup.
My mom used to make the best buckwheat pancakes. Have your girls read Kate Messner’s book Sugar and Ice?
Great looking pancakes and what a perfect syrup from nature! It never ceases to amaze me that it come from the trees! I don’t think we make maple syrup here, I wonder if its cold enough. We must – we do have snow in the high country – I have only bought canadian syrup, I really must investigate this further. Love the look of the cabin too!
Yeeees. I want. I pinned this recipe and will hopefully use it soon! Thanks for sharing.
Love this! My family is always willing to sample another pancake. Is whole wheat white flour hard to find?
Yes – it’s very easy to find. Right next to the whole wheat flour. King Arthur always sells it. It’s more expensive, but I don’t use it for everything, so it’s worth it to me. The other option is to grind it yourself, but I rarely do that 🙂 Whole wheat flour can spoil so I store mine in tupperware in the fridge. My sister keeps it in the freezer. Happy baking!
