Servings: persons

¾ cup whole wheat flour
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup coarse wheat bran
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
nutmeg, a pinch
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups milk
2 large eggs
⅓ cup honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
maple syrup, for topping

1
In a bowl, whisk the whole wheat and all-purpose flours, bran, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together.
2
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, honey, melted butter, and vanilla; blend thoroughly.
3
Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk, stopping when everything is just combined; batter will be a bit lumpy.
4
With a rubber spatula, gently but thoroughly fold in the cheddar cheese.
5
Butter, oil, or spray your griddle or skillet; preheat over medium heat.
6
Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake, allowing space for spreading.
7
If necessary, use a spatula or back of your spoon to distribute the cheese evenly.
8
When the undersides of the pancakes are quire brown and the tops are speckled with bubbles that pop and stay open, flip the pancakes over with a wide spatula and cook until the other sides are light brown; serve immediately.
9
Serve with maple syrup.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
