Amish Series - Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes

In Like a Bee to Honey, the third book in the Honeybee Sisters, Rose Christner, the youngest of the Honeybee sisters, is timid and cautious, but she’s not shy in the kitchen.

One of Rose’s favorite recipes is Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes, which she makes for Josiah Yoder and his energetic nephews in Like a Bee to Honey. This pancake recipe appears at the back of Like a Bee to Honey. It is my favorite breakfast recipe. You grind the wheat right in your blender for the freshest ground wheat ever!

Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 cup whole-wheat kernels
3 tablespoons cornmeal
2 eggs
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon Rumford baking powder (This brand makes a difference. Without it, add another tablespoon of cornmeal.)

Step 1: Have a hot griddle greased and ready.
Step 2: Put the buttermilk in the blender and turn the blender to the highest speed. Slowly pour the whole-wheat kernels into the blender. It will sound like popcorn popping. Blend until the popping sound is gone. Add cornmeal, eggs, honey, and salt.
Step 3: After mixing well, add baking soda and baking powder and blend for 20 seconds. The batter will rise fast! Pour dollops of batter onto hot griddle and brown on both sides.
Serves 4

Like a Bee to Honey
Ever since a traumatic childhood experience, Rose Christner has always been on the timid side, much happier quilting and painting than attending gatherings with the rest of die youngie. Josiah Yoder is enchanted by Rose’s gentle ways and loving heart and knows he’ll have to sort of grow on her if he ever hopes to win her affection without frightening her away. But when an disgruntled stranger bullies Rose, Josiah can’t be subtle anymore. Will skittish Rose open her heart to new possibilities, or will she forever shy away? Will Aunt Bitsy send her cats to obedience school?
