Wheat Cakes

My mother-in-law gave me her whole wheat pancake recipe for when you want to kick the healthy factor up a notch.

1 1/3 c. sifted whole wheat flour

3 eggs, well beaten

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1 ¼ c. milk

3 Tbsp. sugar

3 Tbsp. oil

¾ tsp. salt

Stir together dry ingredients. Combine eggs, milk and oil and stir into dry ingredients, mixing only until blended. (For fluffier pancakes, eggs may be separated and the egg whites stiffly beaten then folded into the batter just before baking.)

Bake on lightly greased griddle until lightly brown, then turn. Makes twelve 4-inch pancakes. Also makes good waffles. (Be sure to spray waffle iron first!)
