Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 This topic may have been covered already in the past, so I apologize if this is a repeat. But Blender Pancakes are new to me....and my family loves them! Blender Pancakes Put 1 cup milk and 1 cup wheat berries (soft white) in vitamix. Blend on high 3 minutes. Add: 2 eggs 2 Tbsp honey 1/4 cup oil 2 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Blend until mixed (a few seconds). Pour only lightly buttered hot griddle. I served these with maple syrup and a side of fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries and blackberries and a dollop of fresh whipped cream. These are hands-down the BEST pancakes I've ever had. We are giving up refined sugar and flour and processed foods in our house and opting for more healthful foods from nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for the recipe. What exactly are wheat berries? I’ve never seen them and make homemade pancakes using organic wheat flour with just about the same ingredients as this one.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Jen, Wheat " berries " are simply the unground whole wheat kernels. These are what are milled to make whole wheat flour fresh.For those of us who store and mill whole grains into flour, the blender pancakes are fun :-), but you certainly can use your already-milled whole wheat flour instead of the berries, just adjust the measurements. Also, wheat berries can be sprouted and also grown into wheat grass. Steamed into cereal, added to soups, stews and chili, made into a meat sub and more. Lots of cool things you can do with wheat berries. -- ~~In Messiah Yeshua,Vickilynn Haycraft, Real Food Living, Examiner.com, Get Real - Get Prepared radio showMicah 6:8http://www.realfoodliving.com http://www.blog.realfoodliving.comhttp://www.examiner.com/housewares-in-national/vickilynn-haycraft http://www.examiner.com/family-preparedness-in-national/vickilynn-haycrafthttp://www.bepreparedradio.com/category/prepper-podcasts-health/get-real-get-prepared/ On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 7:15 PM, Kirk <jlpkirk@...> wrote: Thanks for the recipe.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 For those wanting a gluten free version, you can grind or sub any grain...rice, buckwheat, red quinoa, flax, etc-all make a good wheat free version. You can also use any combination of flour-I like an equal part blend of red quinoa, oat groats and buckwheat groats. I think I know what is for breakfast tomorrow! > > > ** > > > > > > Thanks for the recipe. What exactly are wheat berries?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 When measuring for pancakes made with other grains, do you measure the same total amount as you do with wheat? I am not positive that is right because I don't know how the other grain flours react to moisture, as in the eggs and liquids in pancake batter. And since you don't use eggs, , do you sub in chia gel and make pancakes? That just sounds like it might or might not work as I don't know how chia gel cooks up.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sadly, I don't measure any thing, so I can't give a decent recipe, lol. Yes, I use chia, flax, or tapioca gel as an egg sub-all work equally as well, but flax is my favorite. Rice flour will draw more moisture than softer grains, such as buckwheat, but I just adjust the liquid as I go along until the batter looks like it should. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I tend to blend more by eyeballing it than measuring, > >> > >>> ** > >>> > >>> > >>> Thanks for the recipe. What exactly are wheat berries?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 That actually makes sense. I do adjust the liquid when I use pancake mix. Thanks much.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes, I was just thinking if I could make this gluten free! Grinding into flour is my next goal. When I make rice I always rinse the rice around three times. For rice, do you have to rinse and than dry them first? I don't have a dehydrator, yet. Thanks for any suggestions!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 No need to rinse the rice before grinding. Mainly, rice is rinsed before cooking to remove the extra starch, which keeps the grains from sticking together-this doesn't matter with flour. I do recommend only ORGANIC (preferably brown) rice, and not a rice labeled as " enriched " , which means it is sprayed with " nutrients " which DO contain gluten, despite labeling otherwise. Grinding grains in the Vitamix is great fun-sooo fast! > > Yes, I was just thinking if I could make this gluten free!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I believe in the past, rice was dusted with talc to keep the grains from sticking to each other during shipping on large ships. I also believe they stopped that a while back, but I still see rice with a label that says rinse well, but of course I am speaking of white rice, which I buy sometimes because son (bipolar and very opinionated-read as very OCD) does not like brown rice. I really only like the brown rice. Velda On 1/14/2012 7:55 AM, wrote: > No need to rinse the rice before grinding.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi, I made these delicious pancakes in my brand new pro series 200 vm, and the kids loved them! My only problem was that when I blended the milk and wheat berries for 3 minutes, it turned into a ball of dough. I'm guessing I should blend it for a shorter period of time? Also, will blending wheat berries in a liquid scratch or cloud my wet container? Thanks, - Beccy > > This topic may have been covered already in the past, so I apologize if this is a repeat.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My 2nd attempt also doughed up; but I forgot to start the timer & got distracted by the kids getting ready for school. So next batch I stayed and watched it! And these are GREAT! the whole family loves them, which is hard to do! And all I have on hand is whole wheat berries; so when I get some white grain, might even be better. Is there a varation on this to turn these into biscuts? > > > > This topic may have been covered already in the past, so I apologize if this is a repeat.
