Ingredients:
•1 egg
•1 cup flour
•1 cup flour
•1 cup milk
•2 T oil•1 T sugar
•3 tsp Baking Powder
•1/2 tsp salt
First thing you need to do is get your griddle heating. Turn flame on a medium setting. I use a cast iron skillet. Love love love cast iron.
Add all the other ingredients and blend with a wire whisk. (7 yr old boys make great pancake mixers!)
Let rest for 3 minutes. The whole wheat flour will tend to thicken when it sets for a while. This is why I give it a rest for a few minutes.
Check your batter thickness and add milk as needed. I'll usually add 1/2 cup of milk or so. We like our pancakes on the thin side. If you like them thicker... leave your batter thicker.
Test your skillet to see if it is hot enough. Drop a tiny bit of water on the hot surface. Just a drop or two. When the droplets skitter across your skillet it is hot.
Pour your pancake batter on the skillet. I use about 1/3 cup. This will depend on how big you like your pancakes.
When the edges are looking a bit dry and you have bubbles over the top check the underneath. If it is nicely golden, turn to the other side. Cook until lightly browned.
Serve with hot maple syrup. Or homemade jam. For my meat eaters, bacon or breakfast sausage is a must as well.
