Ingredients
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ ½ teaspoon EACH: ground cinnamon and salt
- 1 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ 1 ¾ cups milk
- ¼ ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Whisk the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, milk, butter, and honey.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients making sure that you don't overmix the batter. There should still be lumps in it.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat (see notes) and add about a ½ tablespoon of butter. Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter into the pan. Unlike other pancakes, you won't see many bubbles form on the top. Flip the pancake over when it looks dry at the edges, about 3 minutes. Then, cook for 1 minute more on the other side.
- Keep the pancakes warm in a 200-degree Fahrenheit oven while you cook the remaining pancakes. Serve the pancakes topped with maple syrup and berries or banana slices.

Notes
- If you cook pancakes one at a time, it will take you a long time before you're eating breakfast. To speed things up, use at least two pans at a time. We usually cook four pancakes at a time, using one pan on each element on our stove. The cook time is based on you using two pans at a time.
