Homemade Pancakes… Easy Like Sunday Morning

Don’t you hate it when you have that craving for pancakes and, oh no, wait... you discover you are out of pancake mix!

Well have no fear… here’s a really easy recipe for healthy, homemade pancakes using your pantry staples:

Yummy Old Fashioned Pancakes

Ingredients

         3/4 cup all-purpose flour (organic if possible)

         3/4 cup whole wheat flour (organic if possible)

         3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

         1/2 teaspoon salt

         1 tablespoon sugar (organic if possible)

         1 1/4 cups skim milk (organic if possible)

         1 egg (organic if possible)

         3 tablespoons butter, melted (organic if possible)

Directions

1.            In a large bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.

2.            Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

I serve these with organic maple syrup or the frozen Trader Joe’s Organic Wild Blueberries- they are really good and defrost in seconds.
