Pancakes From Scratch

Description: I wanted so badly to find a pancake recipe that worked for my family. I just couldn't find one. So here is what I came up with after many failed attempts.

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

4 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

5 Tbsp. canola oil

1 1/2 cups goat's milk or water or whatever kind of milk you use

2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed mixed with 4 Tbsp. hot water

3 tsp. baking powder

Preparation: Sift dry ingredients together and then set aside. Mix wet ingredients together in bowl. Add dry ingredients a little at a time until completely combined. Heat griddle and brush on oil. Once hot you can start pouring pancakes. To make mine the same size I use a scoop with the scraper inside to pour them onto the griddle. Once bubbles are formed and begin to pop, you are ready to flip over. Serve warm with whatever kind of butter substitute you use and maple syrup . The unused pancakes will freeze nicely for a hurried morning. You can defrost in the microwave and then pop in the toaster and your family will have homemade pancakes even on the busiest morning.

Alterations: You can add just about any kind of fruit to this batter. We like to use blueberries, apples and even sliced bananas to the top of the pancake before flipping over. I also added Enjoy Life chocolate chips one time for a special treat!

Rating: My kids give this 5 stars. It doesn't compare to pancakes you would order at a restaurant, but we think it is a good allergy friendly recipe for pancake lovers.
