We use straight whole wheat for the whole recipe. They have become our standard pancake recipe.

I substituted 1/2 cup of wheat flour for the all-purpose flour. Deeeelicious!

Flavor was good, but batter was very, very thick. Next time I will try a bit less flour and a bit more buttermilk to thin it out.

Hi! I'm e-mailing from the UK. All my family absolutely love american buttermilk pancakes. All UK recipes for pancakes use plain flour instead of self raising flour. Can you let me know which of these may be closest to all purpose flour?? Cheers Jayne
