I think the taste of the fresh ground whole wheat pastry flour is light, but adds better flavor to things like cookies and pancakes.

I added a touch more salt because sea salt in general has slightly less salt power, plus I have been wanting more salt in all my baked goods lately. I have been regularly doubling the salt in most recipes!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The griddle that<\/strong> Chef Betharoni grew up with lives at my house, with the gas range she would prefer to use, and I had that pre-heating while I mixed things. About 30 seconds before pouring on the batter, I drizzled some olive oil on the griddle. Then, I poured approximate 2 inch disks of the pancake batter. Since my batter was quite a bit thinner, no spreading went on. I had to be careful not to pour too much. I don&#8217;t think they puffed quite as nicely as hers did, but that may be partially due to my griddle being too hot and having to turn them before they burnt. They were expanding upward, but I pushed them flat with the spatula to make sure they got cooked through. My bad. Still, I thought they were quite yummy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28598\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28598\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-flipped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28598 size-medium\" title=\"Looking yummy -\" src=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-flipped-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Looking yummy -\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-flipped-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-flipped-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-flipped.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking yummy &#8211;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28601\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28601\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-2-plates.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28601\" title=\"Two plates of pancakes, pre-buttering of the ones I will eat first on the left.\" src=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-2-plates-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Two plates of pancakes, pre-buttering of the ones I will eat first on the left.\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-2-plates-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-2-plates-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/PB-pancakes-2-plates.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two plates of pancakes, pre-buttering of the ones I will eat first on the left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>It appears<\/strong> that my little changes make this a 2 serving recipe.
