Ingredients

  • 1.5 teaspoons double-acting baking powder 
  • teaspoon baking soda 
  • servings maple syrup fresh pure quick
  • tablespoons ground flaxseed 
  • tablespoons butter 
  • 1.3 cups milk low-fat
  • 1.5 cups yogurt low-fat
  • cups pastry flour whole-wheat

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • ladle
  • whisk
  • mixing bowl

Directions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and flaxseeds, if using, in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt and milk. Stir with a whisk until the batter is just smooth; it should have an easy-to-pour consistency, but not too thin.
  2. Add more milk as needed. Don't overbeat.
  3. Heat a nonstick griddle or a large nonstick skillet that has been lightly coated with some of the margarine. Ladle on the batter to form 3- to 4-inch pancakes. Cook on both sides over medium heat until golden brown.
  4. Serve hot with maple syrup.
  5. Variations
  6. Multigrain: Substitute 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the flour with another type of flour such as spelt, kamut, buckwheat, cornmeal, or rye, or use a combination of two different types of flour equaling 1/2 to 3/4 cup.
  7. Add a cup or so of thinly sliced fruits—one kind or a combination—to the batter. Try pears, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, wild blueberries, or other berries.
  8. Add 1 heaping cup very thinly sliced, peeled apple (any soft cooking variety such as Cortland, McIntosh, or Golden Delicious) and ground cinnamon to taste to the batter.
  9. Add 1 medium thinly sliced banana, 1/4 to 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans, and a pinch of ground nutmeg to the batter.
