For the Pancakes:
_
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In medium bowl, beat together the eggs, nonfat milk, buttermilk, honey, and vanilla.
_
Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame.
_
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet.
_
Flip the pancake when it is golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming on top, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1 1/2 minutes. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven as you finish cooking the remaining ones.
_
For the Strawberry Sauce:
_
Place the strawberries in a food processor and process them into a chunky puree. Transfer them to a small saucepan over a low flame and heat just until they are warm. Stir in the lemon juice and maple syrup.
_
Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place the pancakes on top, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if using, and serve.
_
Makes twelve 4-inch pancakes and 1 1/3 cups strawberry sauce.
Serving size: 3 pancakes and 1/3 cup sauce.
