Kamut Pancakes

"This is a great recipe from Sue Gregg's "Breakfasts" cookbook that I found online a few years ago. I love looking for new healthy ingredients that I can cook and my kids will eat. The batter will be much thinner then your usual pancakes, as will the finished pancakes. But they have a great nutty flavor and are a fun alternative to regular pancakes. The serving size is approximate and depends on the size of your pancakes."

  1. So flavorful! You will never go with a box again.
     
  2. Light, delicious, easy, inexpensive, nutritious. I used 1 cup of freshly ground kamut flour instead of 'raw' kamut. I soaked the kamut flour and oats in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, and added the rest of the ingredients the next morning. (I thought 1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt were all that seemed necessary.) It made twelve beautiful, puffy 3 1/2" pancakes. Possibly because of the soaking, no one could tell these were whole grain. And also possibly because I used flour and not grain, mine weren't thin. I've been making pancakes for decades, and I'm delighted to find such a delicious and easy wholegrain recipe. Thanks!
     
  3. These pancakes are fantastic! Very filling too! I don't know why people say the batter and pancakes are thin... mine were beautifully thick! I did soak the kamut flour (I milled the grain in my grain mill because my blender stinks) and oatmeal in buttermilk overnight, which breaks down the phylates in the grain and also produces a fluffier end result. Perhaps this is why mine were thick. If you want to try it, just stir the kamut, oatmeal, buttermilk, honey, and oil together and let it sit on the counter overnight. Then in the morning proceed with recipe as usual. Also for people using flour instead of kamut grain... 1 cup of grain will produce between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 cup of flour when milled, so take that into consideration if using kamut flour. Anyway... these have great flavor and texture and are my "keeper" pancake recipe! Try them!
     
  4. Lovely! Just made these for breakfast - go 6 large pancakes from it. I used whole grain kamut flour, so I'm not sure if that changed the recipe drastically or not (I'm not familiar with raw kamut). In any case, the batter was very similar to a whole wheat batter, and it worked beautifully. Doesn't get much easier than this! I never think about making batter in the blender...great! Kids seem to be enjoying them. Thanks!!
     
  5. Very good! I added a handful of pecans and walnuts and a little cornmeal. Really good, really easy.
