Whole Grain Pancakes

Submitted by: BUSYWIFEANDMOM

Introduction

These are the best pancakes that I've found! It was my MIL's recipe that I improvised a bit. You can use ground flax or wheat germ in place of the oatmeal, cornmeal or bran if you'd like. Don't substitue the buttermilk...seems to be what really makes them light and flavorful. We make them quite big, using about 1/2 c. mix for each pancake. You may need to thin the batter out a bit with just a touch of milk or water. These are the best pancakes that I've found! It was my MIL's recipe that I improvised a bit.
