- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3⁄4 cups low-fat buttermilk

- For each pancake, drop 1/2 cup batter onto skillet, spreading it out to make a 4-inch circle.

These pancakes have a nice light, sweet flavor. I love that they have honey instead of sugar. I made a half recipe with all 100% whole wheat flour, one egg white, and skim milk. I also used olive oil instead of butter. I added cinnamon, which I think adds some warm, sweet spice flavor. My half recipe made 8 thick pancakes, about 4 in. in diameter. They were delicious! Thanks!

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!)
The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own.
I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me.
Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
