This year we are purposing to make our gifts more meaningful by making them ourselves. Josiah has opted to make jar mixes to share with friends and family. Here you see him layering the dry ingredients needed to make my homemade whole-wheat and bran, buttermilk pancakes. The recipe is as follows:
Whole-wheat and Bran Buttermilk Pancakes
1 1/2 cups quality whole wheat flour (I buy Bob's Red Mill Organic)
1 1/2 cups quality unbleached white flour (same as above)
1/4 cup course oat bran
1/4 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon (if desired)
1 Tbls. baking soda
Mix dry ingredients using whisk.
Add:
3 eggs (fresh if at all possible!)
2-3 cups of buttermilk (start with 2 cups, then add by the 1/4 cupful until reaching desired consistency)
Mix well and drop by 1/4 cupfuls on nonstick griddle. Eat with fresh fruit, preserves, or real maple syrup. These are delicious AND healthy! This recipe will make about 24 pancakes. Save and wrap any extra in a ziploc bag after cooling. They are easy to microwave and serve again for a quick breakfast. Enjoy!
