Just in time for Saturday morning, America's favorite breakfast food....Pancakes! I love this easy quick go to recipe that makes just enough for your Saturday morning needs. I use fresh ground whole wheat flour but if the little tummies in your family aren't used to all whole wheat- try using half white half wheat!
Mix:
1 1/4 c buttermilk (see below)
1 egg
2T olive oil
1/2t salt
1 1/4c whole wheat flour (3/4c wheat & 1/2c white)
1t baking soda
Whisk ingredients and cook on a hot griddle. The best part-use a cold stick of butter and rub it on the hot griddle to make it non-stick. So Yummy!!
Don't have buttermilk laying around? (who does?!?) My friend who is a GENIUS baker taught me this little trick! Check out her amazing blog for the BEST baking recipes ever-Seriously, the best! www.fredellicious.blogspot.com
Buttermilk: Combine 1T white vinegar and 1c milk in a bowl and let sit for 5 min. It will get nice and chunky and there you have...BUTTERMILK! Too easy :)
Ideas for healthy toppings: Try the ever popular peanut butter and jelly, some yummy fruit, or simple honey!
Be creative and Enjoy!
STATS:
Better- There is just nothing like fresh right off the pan pancakes-your freezer breakfasts have nothing on this! *check*
Healthier-Whole wheat pancakes with fruit vs bleached flour pancakes with loads of syrup? *check*
Cheaper-These few ingredients will cost you pennies on the dollar, 1 box of frozen pancakes is $2.50-$3.50 for about 12! *check*
Whoohoo! I've been wanting this recipe for years! I wonder how it'll taste if I substitute coconut oil for the olive oil? I'm going to try ;)
