Basic Pancakes Recipe

Directions

1. 1
   The recipe calls for 1 Tablespoons oil, but you can substitute mashed banana, prune puree, applesauce, whatever.
2. 2
   I cook these on a non-stick griddle sprayed lightly with Pam
3. 3
   Zoe asked for pancake recipes.
4. 4
   This is the basic one I've used for many years, from the old New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook (that unfortunately I no longer have).
5. 5
   Recently I've begun mixing up the dry ingredients in large quantities, using a mix of flours.
6. 6
   Last time it was something like 3 c. whole wheat flour, 2 c. cornmeal, 1 c. rye flour.
7. 7
   Think I'll put in some oatmeal next time.
8. 8
   Whatever your mix, for every c. of flour add in 1 teaspoon soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 Tablespoons sugar.
9. 9
   Then when you get ready to make pancakes, for every 1 1/4 c. pancake mix, just add in 1 c. buttermilk, 1 egg equivalent, and 1 Tablespoons of your fat substitute.

    It's nice to have on hand.

    I store mine in big coffee cans, with a bay leaf added to discourage the creepy-crawlies (the bay leaf has always worked for me-knock on wood).
