Lazy Sunday Pancakes

Mmm...pancakes!! Here is a low-fat, healthy, delicious pancake recipe for those lazy Sundays or when the craving strikes. Instead of using white flour, boost the fiber content by using whole-wheat flour. There are no processed flours or bleach in whole-wheat products, which makes for a much healthier product in the end. These pancakes are a good source of calcium, Iron, and fiber.

This recipe makes 9 six-inch pancakes. Enjoy!

Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsps baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsps sugar
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups skimmed milk
2 tbsp Becel margarine
fresh fruits

Directions
1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
2. Add eggs, buttermilk, and margarine. Mix until the batter has small to medium lumps. Do not overmix the batter, this is the key to fluffy pancakes.
3. Heat your pan with a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Using a 4oz ladle, pour the pancake batter onto the pan. Flip pancakes when batter begins to bubble. Cook until golden brown.
4. Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruits.
