Buttermilk Pancakes with Whole Wheat & Orange by Salad Foodie

This recipe uses half all purpose and half whole grain flour - my choice for the whole grain is white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour. A nice citrus flavor perks up Sunday morning pancakes. (I freeze leftovers for hungry mornings with little time except to toast and devour!)
