These pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, featuring a light and fluffy texture with a hint of wholesome flavor.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat until hot.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to avoid uneven cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of wheat, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps in the batter.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the buttermilk.
Ensure the egg is fully blended with the buttermilk for a smooth batter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Pour portions of the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Use a ladle or measuring cup for consistent pancake sizes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Warm maple syrup or fresh fruit make excellent toppings for these pancakes.
