Wheat Quick Pancakes

I had to put in this picture of my son watching me take this picture. I think he would have rather been eating the pancakes. My boys love these pancakes. We used to eat Bisquick pancakes and after making these for so long we can't eat Bisquick. This is another recipe that my mom always made. Love, love, love this recipe. It is also handy because you can make the wheat quick and keep it in the fridge. I keep mine in a ziplock bag and use as needed.

Wheat Quick

by: Julie Dansie

4 cups wheat flour

4 cups white flour

1/3 cup baking powder

4 tsp salt

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup shortening

1 1/4 cup dry milk (optional)

Mix all ingredients. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Pancakes

Mix 2 cups wheat quick, 1 egg, 2 cups water (with dry milk in the mix) or milk. ( I usually make the wheat quick with out dry milk. So when I make pancakes, I use milk.)

Waffles

Mix 2 cups wheat quick, 1 egg, 2 cups water (with dry milk in the mix) or milk, and 2 Tbsp vegetable oil.

Whole Wheat Pancake Mix

This is all stuff you'd find in your food storage.  The kids and husband thought they were great.  I like them because they are good for you too!

8 C Whole Wheat flour

4 Tbl baking powder

4 tsp salt

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 C powdered eggs

1 1/2 C powdered milk

1/2 C flax seed mill (or ground flax seed)

2 C old fashioned oats, ground fine

-Mix all together and store in refrigerator.  When your ready to make pancakes, just scoop some dry mix and add enough water to make the right consistency.

* We like to add cinnamon (1/2-1 tsp) and applesauce (about 1/2 C to a batch of pancakes) to ours when we make them.  We've also tried mashed bananas, chopped pecans and nutmeg which are also great.  You can add pretty much anything you want!  

**These also make great waffles.  Just add 1 Tbl oil to your mix when you are making them.
