-
2 cups white whole wheat flour
-
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/3 cup natural granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
-
2 1/4 cups organic buttermilk
-
2 large organic eggs, lightly beaten
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
-
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
-
Add the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.
-
Stir all the ingredients until they are just combined. Don’t worry if the batter is a bit lumpy, you don’t want to over mix.
-
Heat your skillet, pan, or griddle to medium-hot and brush it with a bit of butter. Test for the right temperature. If a drop of water dropped onto the pan starts to dance, you are in the ballpark.
-
Pour about 1/3 of a cup of batter into the skillet. Wait until the pancake bottom is deep golden in color, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
We decided to make these pancakes extra special and add chocolate chunks to them!
Yum!

On to the syrup!
While Brant was cooking all of our delicious pancakes, I decided to use Heidi’s idea (from 101cookbooks.com) and make a flavored syrup. We didn’t have blueberries like she suggessted, so instead I used some frozen raspberries we had in our freezer.
Ingredients:
-
6 ounces of raspberries
-
1/4 cup natural granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup real-deal, PURE, maple syrup
-
2 tablespoons water
frozen raspberries
Directions:
- Add 6 ounces of raspberries, 1/4 cup natural granulated sugar, 1/4 cup real deal, pure maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of water to a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5 or 6 minutes.
- Remove from heat and press the raspberry mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl.
- Mash the fruit to get all the juiciness extracted.
- Throw out the solids.

After our delicious breakfast, we ventured out to dig out our cars! Living in Southie, people are very meticulous about their spots…and use “space savers” to save those spots when they leave! Luckily, shovelling was not too bad this storm, and we are fully prepared with our cone!
Having fun shovelling!
