The Old Farmer's Almanac
The Everyday Cookbook

1 cup whole wheat
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, separated in another bowl and beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed
2 cups buttermilk
1 apple, peeled, cored and shredded
6 tbsp butter (3/4 cup) melted
Sift all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, add the wet ingredients and place the egg whites in another bowl. The egg whites will be beaten until soft peaks form. In the large bowl mix the batter together but being careful not to over-mix the batter. Fold in the beaten egg whites. The batter should be lumpy. Heat up your grill or waffle iron. This recipe will make about 12 pancakes. Serve them with butter and warmed maple syrup.
