Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

This little gem comes from long time co-op member, Becky D.“This is it!!!  I found it. After a long line of failed attempts to make delicious whole-grain (whole wheat in this case) pancakes, I found pancakes that Scott (and the rest of us) like so much! This recipe also works well with milk and flax egg substitutes. We have enjoyed it both ways. The best thing about it is that it makes a big batch, so I always separate layers of leftover cooled pancakes with wax paper, put the layers in big Ziploc bags and freeze them. On sleepy mornings or hurried lunch-times, my 8-year old can pop a few ‘freezer cakes’ into the toaster and make his own short stack in 5 minutes.”
