Pancakes for Breakfast

This morning Naomi made us a wonderful breakfast of Cinnamon Orange Pancakes. They were so delicious!Next time we might try using all whole wheat flour.
Here is the recipe. You should really give them a try. Sorry there are no people pictures, but the people were all pajama clad.

Cinnamon Orange Pancakes
(serves 6)

1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-fat milk
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 large egg or egg substitute equivalent
2 T. wheat germ
1 1/2 T. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. orange zest or finely grated peel
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 pinches of salt
cooking spray

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the two flours with the wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg slightly. Add milk, orange juice, and orange zest and mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just mixed and moisteneed. Prepare a griddle or large skillet at med-high heat with a coating of cooking spray. Dollop batter onto hot surface in 1/4 cup amounts to make individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear in the center of pancake. Flip and cook other side until golden brown.
