Whole Wheat Pancakes

This recipe is from a vegetarian cookbook I used to have years ago. I don't remember the name. Simple - 5 ingredients plus syrup for eating.

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs

Place dry ingredients in large bowl and give them a stir so that the baking powder and salt are spread around.

Break 2 eggs into a measuring cup or container, being careful not to have any shell, and beat them slightly. Pour in 2 cups milk, then pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir lightly with a whisk until blended - will still have small lumps and that is OK. Don't overmix.

Heat griddle to medium/low, place pat of butter on griddle to melt, and spread it around. Use soup ladle to put batter for 3 or 4 pancakes on the griddle. Better if they don't touch, but if they do, just divide at the join with your spatula before flipping them. Flip the pancakes over when the top side develops bubbles and starts to look a little dry - at that point, the bottom should be browning slightly. Cook on second side (takes less time), then serve.

Serve with more butter and syrup.

You can freeze the left-overs on a flat pan, then put them in a plastic bag in the freezer. Thaw by putting them in the toaster and then briefly in the microwave.
