Light and Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes
Don't let the fact that these pancakes are made entirely from whole wheat flour fool you - they bake up as light and fluffy as any I've had.

Notes
Recipe adapted from "Black Jack Flapjacks" by the Black Jack Inn and the Paradise Cafe in Lawrence, Kansas.
Don't have buttermilk? Replace 2 cups of buttermilk with 1 ½ cups milk, 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice, and ½ cup plain yogurt. The yogurt and the vinegar / lemon juice thicken the milk and mimic the sour flavor of buttermilk.
