A New Pancake

So, for years I made a different pancake recipe every weekend, because I thought I was searching for the perfect one. But then I found the perfect one, and now I've realized that it's boring making the same pancakes every week. So I've kept experimenting and trying different recipes, lately in a quest to make a healthier pancake. Here is the latest, which is healthy and yummy and especially good with a handful of blueberries thrown in!

Healthy Pancakes

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 Tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 3/4 cups milk
1 egg
2 egg whites
1/4 cup butter, melted

Combine the dry ingredients until well blended. In a separate bowl, whip the eggs until fluffy and add milk and butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir.

Everyone loved them, especially Mr. Pancake - Henry ate THREE BIG ONES! I remember my brother could eat a stack of a dozen pancakes, yikes! I guess when Henry gets bigger I won't be able to freeze leftover pancakes for the rest of the week!

Have I ever told you that my mom sends me biannual packages from Trader Joe's? There are two things I have to have from there: seasoned rice vinegar, which I use in everything, and their grade B maple syrup, which is a little less sweet and a lot more yummy than the grade A stuff you get everywhere else. We go through 4 (big - they're 25 fl oz) bottles a year, and if Trader Joe's would make its way here I would be so happy! Trader Joe's and Ikea, and I would be one happy Southern girl! Oh and maybe In N Out Burger too. THEN I would be 100% happy here.
