These pancakes were inspired by this recipe:

I’ve made it my own by mixing up the flour and varying the stuff that goes inside.
Ingredients:
-
2 ½ cup flours, mixed by your preference. I recommend 1 cup whole wheat, ½ cup corn meal, ½ cup flax meal, ½ cup buckwheat
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
2 eggs
-
1 ⅓ cup milk
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
Lots of fresh berries (any are delicious) and mashed banana, to taste and as the season dictates
Directions:
-
Preheat your skillet if cast iron, as this material takes time to heat up. Key is a preheated item but on medium low.
-
Sift together the flours, baking powder and salt.
-
Separately, whisk the egg, milk, sugar and banana.
-
Combine, but minimize mixing to keep them light and fluffy.
-
Fold in berries, or mush them up if your kids prefer
-
Use an ice cream scoop to pour batter on a hot, oiled griddle or pan. Optionally, pour into a metal cookie cutter for a fun shape.
-
Turn when they bubble.
