It is very cold outdoors and a good day to stay indoors and eat pancakes. If you make them with whole wheat flour and plain yoghurt you will not be eating the empty calories of white flour pancakes. Add oatmeal, walnuts, and apple to the batter and it is even better.
If you raise your kids eating pancakes like these it may be the beginning of lifelong healthy eating habits for them. A great way to start a day and a life.
Sometimes I use all whole wheat flour, other times 1/3 white to 2/3 whole wheat. If you are cooking for those who have never eaten all whole wheat, start them off with the blend.
Here's how I did them today.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 c white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon sugar, br sugar, or honey
1 egg
1 cup water
1/2 c yoghurt - unsweetened plain
1 tblsp oil
Method:
1) Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2) Add wet ingredients and whisk together.
3) Ladle batter into preheated med heat lightly oiled frying pan or griddle. You know the rest.
Notes: Add rolled or steel cut oats, chopped walnuts, minced apple to the batter, as well as cinnamon for a special treat. Or any fruit of your choice. If it was July I would be adding wild raspberries.
Serve w/ butter, maple syrup or preserves of your choice or all.Adjust consistency of the batter to preference by adding more liquid( water or milk, apple juice, etc). For example, I like thin pancakes like Swedish style, others I know prefer fluffy ones - add another teaspoon of baking powder if you like fluffy.
