The kids and I started a little tradition about a year or so ago. Ben works late once or twice a week, usually on Thursdays. Thus, Thursdays have become our fun (and simple!) little "Pancake Night." We do German Pancakes, Cottage Cheese Pancakes, pancake-mix pancakes, or sometimes just bacon and eggs, breakfast burritos... you get the point. Key word for me is simple; key word for kids is fun.
This recipe is one of the more recent adoptions to "Pancake Night." It's from Traci's ward cookbook, and this one was submitted by Traci, herself. They are simple and delicious and made from whole wheat and surprisingly filling. They are great served with sliced bananas and syrup, or sliced strawberries and whipped cream. (When I do the strawberries and whipped cream, it pretty much tastes like dessert for dinner. hehe)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C buttermilk
3/4 C whole wheat kernels
3 heaping T corn meal
1 heaping T brown sugar
2 eggs
2 T margarine, cut in small pieces
1 heaping T baking powder
1/4 to 1/2 t baking soda
Directions:
In a blender, liquify the buttermilk and the whole wheat kernels for 4 full minutes.
Add the corn meal, brown sugar, eggs, and margarine. Blend for 30 seconds.
Then add the baking powder and baking soda. But just switch the on and off just enough to blend in the baking powder--just two or three times.
Let the mixture rise to the top of the blender before pouring onto the griddle.
Note to my neighbors:
I know whole wheat kernels are something not everyone has on hand. I happen to have a lot. If you ever want to try ths recipe, feel free to ask for some!
