Pancakes from Scratch

Pancakes are a family favorite and you can make them healthy or as a "special treat."  You do not need a mix to make them, they are much better from scratch and not difficult at all :)
Plus they are a great breakfast for Christmas morning along with hot chocolate or coffee with cream and cinnamon!




Ingredients

2 cups flour (whole wheat or regular or a cup of both)
1 3/4 cups milk 
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg


Mix ingredients together (use all organic if possible).  You can add more milk if necessary.

Heat a pan and coat with butter.

Pour 1/2 cup measurements of pancake mix into pan.

Cook until lightly browned.



This is where you can make them healthy or not - you can top them with fresh berries, syrup and butter, marshmallows and chocolate chips, banana and peanut butter (Elvis style), apple slices that have been sauteed in butter and cinnamon...the list goes on forever.






You can also add ingredients to the mix to make them healthier or not or give them a different flavor such as flax seed, granola, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, coconut flakes...again the list goes on and on.  

Enjoy!!!

:)
