1
Preheat griddle to medium or medium-high and oven to 350 degrees F.
-
2
Toast 1/2 cup of the coconut by spreading it out on a cookie sheet and place in preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
-
3
Shake or move the coconut around with tongs to get even toasting.
-
4
Portion out the chocolate and coconut for 10 pancakes.
-
5
(How chocolately or coconutty you want them to be is up to you - experiment, and don't get too picky about the portioning!)
-
6
For the 4-grain pancake batter:
-
7
Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients.
-
8
Combine with the beaten eggs, buttermilk, and milk in a bowl, cutting together with a fork.
-
9
Cut 4 tablespoons of the melted butter into the batter.
-
10
Drizzle the remaining butter over the griddle and spoon on the batter.
-
11
Immediately distribute the chocolate and untoasted coconut evenly over the surface.
-
12
This is done quickly so they will sink into the batter.
-
13
(Don't mix the chocolate into the batter beforehand!)
-
14
Proceed to the next pancake, and so on.
-
15
Go back and check your first pancake.
-
16
The pancakes should cook about 2 minutes per side, but watch them.
-
17
Remember my early admonition about not patting the pancakes with the spatula or turning them more than once.
-
18
Top the finished Peter Pauls with some toasted coconut and serve with maple syrup.
