That's what's was for breakfast around here today. I generally don't make pancakes because a.) I don't need that much carbs, butter, and syrup to start my day and b.) by the time I'm done making them, everyone else is finished and I have to eat mine all by myself. I've tried keeping them warm in the oven, but it's not the same. In spite of all this, sometimes the urge hits me. I usually do a basic whole wheat pancake (don't tell the Geek it's healthy for him!) and add stuff (blueberries, bananas, chocolate chips etc. Today's version was awesome! Here it is.
Basic Whole Wheat Pancakes (and I'll put the added ingredients at the end)
1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar (I often use a little less than this)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup veg. oil
(For Cinnamon-Blueberry ones add):
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup blueberries. You can either mix them in to the whole batch or put 5-6 in each freshly poured pancake. For these pancakes to come out right your batter needs to be pretty thick. If the pancakes are not rising high, add a little more flour to your batter to thicken it up. Runny batter = thinner pancakes
Sift dry ingredients and then mix wet ingredients together separately. Add the dry to the wet, beat to a smooth batter. Pour small circles on a hot UNGREASED griddle (or frying pan). When they are ready to be flipped, they won't stick to the pan. Serve with powdered sugar and butter, or my favorite, blueberry syrup. Yum!
These were a great way to start a hum-drum Wednesday morning and as you can see, they were much enjoyed!
