Light-as-a-Feather Whole Wheat Pancakes

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon oil

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat griddle.

In medium bowl, stir or sift dry ingredients together; beat egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and oil together. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened; batter should be slightly lumpy.

Pour 1/4 cup batter for each cake onto a well-seasoned hot griddle. Flip the pancake when bubbles appear on surface; turn only once.

Alternatives:
_ Omit soda, use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 1/2cups skim milk.
_ Add 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
_ Serve hot, chunky, unsweetened, spiced applesauce over cakes instead of syrup for extra nutrition and fiber.
