ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
¹⁄₄ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons milled golden flax seeds
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon raw sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₈ - ¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup nonfat milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¹⁄₈ teaspoon vanilla extract
¹⁄₈ teaspoon almond extract

directions

Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix wet ingredients separately.
Pour liquids into dry ingredients and stir to mix. Try to stir as little as possible - just until there are no visible dry ingredients. You need to leave some lumps.
Let pancake batter rest for about five minutes. Meanwhile heat griddle to 350F or non-stick pan to medium heat.
Spray pan with non-stick spray, if desired and ladle 1/4 of batter onto cooking service at a time.
When batter starts to bubble, flip over and cook for an additional minute or two.
Optional: These pancakes are also excellent with walnuts or chocolate chips. Just add them to the top of the batter immediately after you ladle it onto the cooking surface.
