Contributor: Gloria Phister
2002 Cowley Cookbook

Note: When baking whole wheat pancakes it is usually necessary to bake the pancakes a little longer than for white pancakes. Bake until the bubbles are well-formed before turning.

Sift together:

1 1/4 cup sifted whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
3 T brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt

Combine:
2-3 eggs, well beaten
1 1/4 cup milk
3 T oil or melted shortening

Stir liquid mixture into flour mixture. Bake on griddle until golden brown and bubbles form on top, then turn, or bake in waffle iron.

To make lighter pancakes, separate eggs and add only beaten egg yolks to the milk mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter just before baking.

"I double this and freeze them.  So handy to have in a hurry for company.  Grandchildren love them."

Special toppings for waffles:

Blend soft butter with:

• crushed strawberries
• maple syrup or honey

Canned blueberries, seasoned with cinnamon, thickened with a little cornstarch is also yummy.
