Restaurant Style Fluffy Honey Pancakes

I got this recipe from a friend after having trouble making a pancake with whole wheat flour that my 2 boys will eat. I made these and I swear they were the best pancakes I ever made. They looked so fluffy and browned just right. The boys loved them. We usu. eat maple syrup or powdered sugar over them. I just tried making a homemade syrup and that turned out good too. This is freshly ground whole wheat flour, so if you have store bought whole wheat, I would recommend doing it 1/2 white and half wheat.

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups  freshly ground whole wheat pastry flour

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, powder, soda and salt.
2. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg yolks, olive oil and honey, stirring well.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
4. In a glass or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold them gently into the pancake mixture.
5. Heat an electric skillet to 375° F and spray with cooking oil.
