Great Whole Wheat (Freshly Milled) Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, freshly milled
3 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 tablespoon butter, not part of batter but to butter pan

Preparation

In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Cook's note: I usually \"jumpstart\" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).
