Papa's Whole-Wheat Pancakes

*from Essential Mormon Celebrations cookbook, pg. 58

1 cup milk
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Combine milk and flour and beat in a blender on high speed for 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and beat on high for 2 more minutes. (I used a whisk and it worked fine) Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter on hot griddle and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Makes 12 pancakes.

I have always been a bit skeptical of whole-weat pancakes. It just seems like they would be dense and dry. But these are so light and fluffy and delicious! Our girls LOVE these.

Easy breakfast

Peter and I are sworn cold cereal eaters, but once in a while we'll break out and have more hearty breakfast.  This isn't so much a recipe, but a fun way to spice up breakfast. It takes 5 minutes and it's so yummy.

Use a cup or something round to cut out a hole in bread.  Butter both sides and place on a skillet.  Crack an egg open in the center and cook.  I like dipping my toast in my over easy eggs, but peter likes his cooked all the way through, so it's up to you!  Add some bacon or pancakes or whatever you want and enjoy.
