Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes

This recipe came out of my search for something the kids can eat with a little more protein and a little less sugar.  It still has the sweet, airy bite of a pancake but with a lot more nutritional substance packed into it to help young bodies grow.

2 Tablespoons butter

1 1/4 cups milk

2 eggs

4 tablespoons honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup white flour

1 1/4 cup organic whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Melt the butter in a good, durable mixing bowl.  Mix in the milk and eggs with a whisk to thoroughly blend.  Add in the honey, salt and vanilla.  Whisk together until well blended.  Now add your white flour, wheat flour and baking soda.  Gently fold these in and whisk until well blended.  Heat your griddle or fry pan and add butter to keep the pancakes from sticking.  Pour out batter onto the hot surface in 6 inch rounds, cooking until the air bubbles rising to the surface of the batter pop and remain open.  Then flip the pancakes and give them abother minute or so on the other side.  Then move them off to a warming plate to serve.

This recipe yields about ten 5 inch pancakes, enough for about 3 people.  These are great with fresh strawberries, blueberries or cream on top.
