Whole Wheat Pancakes
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg or 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small piece of butter and a paper towel
Directions:
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, scramble the egg, if using, or just add the applesauce, then add the milk and the vanilla extract. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, well enough to eliminate dry spots but no more.
Heat a griddle to medium temperature. Place the piece of butter in the paper towel, and when the griddle is hot, wipe the butter over it (just a thin coat). Pour a pancake. The pancake will bubble. When the bubbling settles down and the edges are slightly dry, flip the pancake. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side. When the pancake looks done, remove it and keep warm. The pancakes can be kept in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
Makes about 10 small pancakes or 6 nice sized ones.

I’ve used both the egg and the applesauce in these pancakes, and honestly, I can’t tell the difference.
They make great pancakes for McGriddles.
