Whole wheat pancakes

On this drizzly Saturday morning we really needed a boost to get us started!  

Pancakes it is!  
I went looking through one of my most trusted cook books; "The Calvary Temple Church Cookbook".  This cookbook is the most diverse and reliable cookbooks I have; even though it doesn't have pictures it is still very close to my heart!
I used this recipe as a "guideline"...this is what we came up with.

1cup whole wheat flour
1/3cup psyllium husk*
2tbsp brown sugar
1tbsp baking powder
Whisk/ set aside

Mix:
1egg
1cup milk 
3tbsp salted butter melted

Mix into the dry

*for more information on the benefits of psyllium husk see the link below

Jeff said as he cooked the pancakes he had to add more milk to the batter.


As usual we topped the pancakes with our favourites; Greek yogurt, real maple syrup and mixed berries. 
Between the whole wheat flour and the psyllium husk; these had a great nutty flavour.

This was a great start to our day; now bring on the sun!!!!
