Bailey's Whole Wheat Pancakes

Bailey has discovered a love for cooking, and one of her first and favorite things to make is whole wheat pancakes. She can now make them without even looking at the recipe! We recently bought a manual grinder, so we have to all take turns grinding the wheat before we make them! It is pretty tiring, so even though we have good intentions of grinding extra, we barely get the 2 c of flour needed for this recipe. Bailey likes the recipe as follows, but see bottom note on how I add even more flavor and moistness to these delicious breakfast treats!

2 c whole wheat flour
1 T oil
2 T honey or sugar
1 T baking powder
2 eggs
2 c milk
1 t salt
combine all ingredients in a large bowl, whisk to mix well. Pour by 1/4 cupfuls onto greased griddle or pan. Flip when bubbles begin to appear.cook until they spring back when touched.

Cook's mom's note: I like to add 1 c pureed pumpkin and about 1/2 t cinnamon to the batter before cooking. It really makes them more light and moist, something you don't always get with whole wheat! This is especially nice during the holiday season.
