Today I Am Grateful For Pancakes

Pancakes must be one of my favorite foods in this world. I have a great receipe that I adapted from the cookbook "Vegan with a Vengence". We had these for breakfast today with real maple syrup. If you're going to use that Log Cabin or Pillsbury crap, there's no reason to make pancakes from scratch. Tasty with blueberrys or bananas too!

Ingredients:

Dry

1 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Wet

1 1/4 cup soy milk
2 tbsps. canola oil
2 tsps. vanilla extract
2 tbsps. sugar

Sift together the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients well.

Add the wet to dry and mix until just combined - don't over mix it!

Do your thing on a hot griddle. Makes about six nice sized pancakes. Enjoy!

Namaste.

Blueberry Corn Pancakes

This is really sort of a summery-type pancake but I made them on this blustery January Colorado morning because we needed a touch of summer today! Even the hot tub cover is frozen shut, just to dramatically demonstrate the cold of the day. The sun is out but not doing a damn thing to aid global warming...

Dry Ingredients:

1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 TBSP. Canola oil
1 1/4 cup plain soy milk, rice milk, oat milk or whatever you like
1/3 cup of water
2 teaspoons vanilla (I like a lot, you might like less)
2 TBSP. real maple syrup
1 TBSP. grated lemon rind

Added Ingredients:

1 Cup FRESH blueberries (frozen ones don't work well in this unless you like blue pancakes)

Mix the dry ingredients.
Mix the wet ingredients with a whisk.

Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix a bit. Add the blueberries and just fold in.

The batter may be a tad on the thin side, thinner is crunchier with these pancakes. I like'em a little denser. Play around to find your sweet spot.

Cook'em. Eat'em. I like mine with applesauce! This recipe as modified is from the wonderful cookbook Veganomicon that my two sons David and Andrew gave to me for Christmas. Thanks guys!!

Namaste.
