Multigrain Pancakes
Description
Multigrain Pancakes start by boiling water with butter, then stirring in multigrain hot cereal and letting it rest to absorb the liquid. Granola is added next, blending into the mixture before milk and egg are incorporated to form the batter. All-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, and salt are gently folded in until just combined.
The batter is cooked on a greased hot griddle or pan by dropping 1/4 cup portions. Pancakes cook until bubbles form on top and edges look dry, then flipped and cooked until golden brown on the other side. This method produces pancakes with a tender center and crisp edges, with a complex grain flavor from the multigrain and granola additions.
This recipe is useful for those wanting pancakes with added whole grains and texture. Granola adds clusters of sweetness and crunch while the multigrain cereal softens the batter. The recipe allows flexibility in milk choice from skim to non-dairy options and advises to test pan temperature by water droplets.

Notes
- Bob's Red Mill 7 grain hot cereal and plain granola clusters work well but replacement with similar products is possible.

- Test griddle heat by sprinkling water drops; water should sizzle and evaporate for correct temperature.
