[rec.food.recipes] OVO-LACTO: Whole Wheat Pancakes

A couple of days ago, someone asked for a whole wheat pancake recipe.
This one is from Whole Foods for the Whole Family, and is a weekend
staple at our house.

BASIC MIX
    6 C   Whole wheat flour
  1/2 C   Wheat germ
    2 C   Dry milk
    3 T   Baking powder
    1 T   Salt


AT PREPARATION TIME
    2 C   Basic mix
    4     Eggs
  1-2 C   Water


RECIPE NOTES:

   - we don't always have dry milk around, so we omit the dry milk from the
     basic mix and substitute milk for the water at preparation time.  Works
     out fine.

   - 2 Cups of mix at preparation time makes a LOT of pancakes.  For 2 adults
     and 2 children, we often cut that back to 1 or 1.5 cups (using 2 or 3
     eggs, respectively).

   - fresh or frozen fruit (i.e. blueberries, raspberries) work out real well.

   - careful with the salt;  just a little extra make the pancakes come out
     tasting really salty.

   - the basic mix stores well in the fridge for up to a month or so;  the
     batter doesn't do well at all, even for a day.
