Directions
- If using butter or coconut oil, melt on stove top or in the microwave.
- Begin pre heating a non-stick pan or skillet to medium low heat
- In a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together: milks
- oil, butter, or coconut oil
- and an egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
- Apply a thin layer of oil or butter to the pre heated non-stick pan or skillet.
- Use a ladle or “pour-friendly” container to pour the batter on to the skillet.
- Cook for about four minutes on one side (the edges will start setting
- bubbles will form in the middle and eventually start popping).
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional two minutes.
- Eat immediately, or keep warm in a 200 degree oven.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my web page but I see only the Instructions for the pancakes (Method) but not the ingredients list.

Oops! My mistake. I didn’t see the difference between the buttermilk an the “simple” pancakes. I will make them this weekend—-looking forward to them. Thanks!

Hi.
I received my kernza flour and I plan to make pancakes with it this Sunday. I just noticed, though, that the recipe(s) on the back of the package and the pancake recipe on your web site are quite different. Any explanation?

Hi JB,
No, Kernza contains gluten and is a cousin of wheat. All recipes and products on this website contain gluten.
Thanks,
