Paul's Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk*
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

Mix dry ingredients together. Whisk wet ingredients together in separate bowl and then pour over dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay. Spoon, pour or ladle batter onto a hot skillet or griddle that you have first sprayed with cooking oil. The cooking surface should only need oiling for the first batch. Cook pancakes until top of each cake is speckled with some bursting bubbles. Turn pancake over and let brown on other side. Serve immediately or keep warm up to 20 minutes in a 200F oven. Serve with favorite topping. *If you want thinner pancakes, add a touch more milk. You can also use your favorite box pancake batter. Follow directions on back for best results.
