Fresh Milled Flour Pancakes (Easy, Fluffy, Whole Wheat)

These fresh milled flour pancakes are soft and fluffy and perfectly delicious with a drizzle of maple syrup! They're fairly easy to make, don't taste too baking powder-ish and they're made with 100% freshly milled flour.

Soft & Fluffy Freshly Milled Pancakes

Ya know, pancakes were never something my husband and I really cared for. We both grew up eating pancakes every single Sunday morning. After we got married, it went several years - yes, years - until I decided you know what, I could actually eat pancakes again! Wow, I guess we really were burnt out on them!?

Anyways, fast forward a few more years, and now we have a toddler who loves "mancakes". So guess what I've been making on repeat... pancakes! 🙂

I like these fresh milled flour pancakes because they are soft and fluffy and don't taste strong like baking powder. And of course, they're made with all whole wheat flour!

Supplies You'll Need (and what we used)

• Measuring cups and spoons
  
• Mixers - I use my regular Kitchenaid stand mixer and my handheld Kitchenaid mixer for this recipe
  
• Grain mill - I have this Nutrimill Classic and I use it almost every day! (And I have a code with Nutrimill - use code SMALLTOWNSCRATCH to get a discount on your order)
  
• Frying pan - or griddle of some kind. Most times, I use my 12" stainless steel skillet.
  
• Flipper - this little metal spatula is often what I use to flip pancakes

Ingredients

• Eggs, separated - the yolks go in the mixing bowl and the whites in another bowl
  
• Wheat berries - you should be able to use either hard or soft berries for pancakes. Soft is probably recommended, but I almost always use hard white wheat berries! I purchase my berries from a local bulk food store, but you can also purchase them online at any of these stores: Azure Standard, Grand Teton Ancient Grains, Central Milling, Pleasant Hill Grain, Chisholm Trail Farms (btw, we are not affiliated with any of these!)
  
• Baking powder and baking soda
  
• Salt - Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  
• Milk - regular whole milk
  
• Butter - I use salted butter

How to make Fresh Milled Flour Pancakes

First, mill the flour on the finest setting of your mill.

Meanwhile, separate the eggs. The yolks go straight into the bowl of the stand mixer and the whites in a separate mixing bowl.

Melt the butter, then add the milk and butter into the bowl with the yolks and beat until thoroughly combined. (The butter might clump a little, and that's ok!)

Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix well.

Use an electric handheld mixer to whip the egg whites until they're fluffy and stiff peaks form on top.

Then, use a spatula to fold the stiff egg whites into the pancake mixture.

Heat the frying pan on medium-high heat. Grease with a little bit of butter, then pour in the pancakes! I normally use a ¼ cup measure to portion the pancakes.

Let them fry until little bubbles form on top, then flip. (You may need to adjust the heat a little so they cook through without getting too brown on the outside.)

Fry all the pancakes, serve and enjoy!

How to Store Leftover Pancakes

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips, Tricks and Notes on making Fresh Milled flour Pancakes

I almost always use hard white wheat, but soft wheat should be ok for this recipe too!

When frying the pancakes you can sprinkle on some fun add-ins, such as chocolate chips or blueberries.
