I have to admit that I shy away from making breakfast and usually opt for cereal, but in an effort to save money and work on building up the nutritional level, I’ve been making a hot breakfast a few times a week. Here’s my whole wheat pancakes:
First, I assembled the ingredients. (Note the fabulous Vermont maple syrup!)
Then I made buttermilk since I NEVER have any! You just pour a bit of lemon juice into the bottom of your measuring cup and add milk to the proper amount. Then let it sit for a few minutes until it gets lumpyish! Cheap and easy.
Next, cook on your preheated griddle. I bought the biggest griddle I could find. As you can see I can do 12 pancakes at one time! Also notice the chocolate chips!
Finally, serve them to your family who will show their appreciation for all your hard work by looking at picture books and reading the newspaper!!
Well regardless of whether they appreciated it or not, no one needed a morning snack because they were totally full!! They should have been since I made 54 pancakes and only had 12 left.

I have to applaud you for making pancakes for your large family ! One thing that few people factor in when making pancakes or waffles for anything more than 4 is the time factor. You either have to eat in shifts or keep putting pancakes in the oven to stay warm until you have enough to feed everyone.Therefor pancake and waffle breakfasts become improbable for big families- casseroles or muffins or bakes oatmeal often win out for practicality. I applaud you for doing all that flipping to feed your brood !!
LOL! I would love if my girls would read and not be yapping their heads off at the table! Aaaaah…the silence
Those pancakes look spectacular! Mine are always misshapen and lumpy!
They look great, Diane. We’ve always made hungry jack (I know, the shame of it all…LOL). Can’t wait to try this someday.
I love pancakes! good stuff!
