First thing you got to do is you get you a large bowl, and a 2 cup liquid measure. Then you get you a bag of whole wheat flour, a box of baking soda, some brown sugar, some salt, some buttermilk, an egg, and some vegetable oil. So then, you put one cup of whole wheat flour in the larger bowl. add a 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and set that aside. Then, in your 2 cup liquid measure, you get you 1 and 1/2 cup buttermilk, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and an egg. Then you beat that up until the egg is thoroughly mixed in.
Now you mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients with a fork just enough to get all of the dry ingredients wet.
Now get you a hot oiled griddle, and pour on about 1/4 cup of the batter to make one pancake. Repeat until your pan or griddle is full — 3-4 pancakes at a time.
when the bubbles start to emerge and pop from the middle of the pancake, that is time to turn it over with your spatula. Once there is no more wet batter emerging from your pancake, you know it’s done. Repeat until you use all the batter. This will make you about 0ne dozen pancakes.
