Marks of Motherhood

My Mom was so good about teaching us to cook from scratch. Even though we had the big bags of costco pancake mix on hand we also learned to make them from scratch. 

Here is my favorite recipe:

• 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 Tbs white sugar
• 1 Tbs baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/3 cups of milk 
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbs oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup frozen blueberries

Yields 8-10 pancakes

Directions: 

Whisk dry ingredients.  Whisk in wet ingredients, I usually use handmixer. 

Pulse blueberries in a blender till slightly chopped.  Mix berries into pancake mix.

If cooking in a skillet use some oil. If using a griddle simply spray it. Cook each pancake for 1-2min on each side. 

I usually make eggs with my pancakes.

I love adding a splash of milk and 1/4-1/2 cup of salsa to about half dozen eggs. Easy way to add flavor! 

Happy Eating,
