Pancakes

Sunday mornings, I get up early, forgo checking my email and stumble into the kitchen to make breakfast. One of the boys' favorites is pancakes. Once we eat our fill there is always a few left over. I just let them cool completly (keeping the dog away) and then chuck them in a freezer bag. They heat up wonderfully in a toaster or the oven.

Sift together –

• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup All Purpose flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt,
• 2 Tbs. sugar.

When you're ready to cook, mix in

• 2 cups water
• 3 Tbs. canola oil
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla,
• 2 Tbs. applesauce (or 1 ripe banana)

Heat your griddle until a drop of water dances across the top. Lightly wipe with oil (just a very very light sheen). Pour the size pancakes you feel, when the bubbles start breaking in the pancake its time to flip.

Serve HOT!

I will also sometimes add some of the following:

• ½ cup of oatmeal
• ¼ cup wheat germ
• 2 Tbs. ground Flax seed
• 2 Tbs. Agar flakes
