Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wild rice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter, for greasing skillet
Instructions
Cook the wild rice according to package instructions, then let it cool completely. You will need about 1 cup of cooked wild rice for the recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold the cooled cooked wild rice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the wild rice pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
