Wheat pancakes

Wheat Pancakes (modified "Buckwheat Pancakes" recipe from Vegan Cooking for Carnivores by Roberto Martin)

I followed Roberto Martin's Buckwheat Pancakes recipe, except that since I didn't have any buckwheat flour, I substituted whole wheat flour. It didn't seem to affect the recipe's taste or the consistency of the batter.  The only difference is that buckwheat is a 'superfood' that would have provided extra protein.

I'm not usually a big fan of pancakes, but these were pretty good. They were soft and fluffy, and had a better flavor than plain white flour pancakes. Like most pancakes, I found these to be very filling - one plum and two pancakes was more than enough for dinner!

Served with: maple syrup, plum

For the photograph, I didn't like the way any of my 'staged' photos looked - there wasn't enough natural light (due to heavy cloud cover during a passing thunderstorm), and the lights in my kitchen and dining room left a yellowish hue that didn't look appetizing on such a lightly-colored food.  Then, after I took my first bite, I realized that the storm clouds had passed and the natural light was returning, and I liked the way the missing bite showed the fluffiness of the pancakes.  I grabbed my camera again and snapped a couple quick photos that turned out better than any of my earlier attempts!
