Multi Grain Pancakes

Multi Grain Pancakes
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 large egg
3/4 c + 1 Tablespoon Milk (you may add more depending on what type of consistence you're looking for---the thinner the batter the thinner the pancake)
2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon cooking oil
1/4 c Whole Wheat Flour (we grind our own)
1/4 c Corn Meal
1/2 c Oat Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder

Mix first 4 ingredients in a bowl or a liquid measuring cup (I usually use a liquid measuring cup to mix the batter together. When pouring the batter from this, it's a lot easier and less messy than trying to use a bowl and a spoon).

Add the next 4 ingredients to the mix--mix well.

Add the baking powder last. This ingredient is what makes the pancakes puffy. Don't over mix or you will have flat pancakes---but if you don't care, it's OK.

Heat griddle (I use a wok) over medium heat. (To test the griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, the pan is ready to make pancakes).

Add a little oil/butter every time you make a new pancake (this will make the pancake crispy around the edges) For each pancake pour slightly less than 1/4 c batter onto the hot griddle. Cook pancake until bubbly on top, puffy and dry around the edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
