Homemade Pancakes

Have you ever made pancakes from scratch?  They're such a wonderful weekend treat, and delightfully easy to make with things you most likely have in the cupboard, unlike pancake mix, which has a tendency to disappear just before you need it!.  We've been in search of the perfect pancake recipe for a while, and we've settled on a very basic recipe that we vary, depending on the season or what's on hand.

This weekend, my son put himself in charge of our apple-cinnamon variety.



Apple Cinnamon Pancakes:
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 TB of oat bran
1 tsp salt
3 TB sugar

add:
1 large egg, beaten
3 TB melted butter
1 cup milk

We melt the butter in the microwave, add the milk and the egg, and stir, then add to the dry ingredients.

Add 1 diced apple, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Eat with maple syrup, naturally!
