  • Servings: Approx. 8 - 10 pancakes
  • Preparation Time: 20
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ (Opt.)
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk (skim works fine)

DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine all the dry ingredient; stir.
  2. Combine the liquid ingredients together; mix well and add to dry ingredients.
  3. Do not overmix!
  4. Important - let this sit for about 10 minutes.
  5. On a hot griddle (sprayed with Pam lightly), cook carefully until several bubbles appear and pancake begins to 'dull'. Flip and cook for about half of the time.
