Ingredients

3 cup – flour, whole wheat
2 cup – flour, all-purpose
1 1/4 cup – powdered milk
1/4 cup – sugar
1/8 cup – baking powder
1 tablespoon – salt

Add:

1 cup – water
2 tablespoon – olive oil

Directions

1. Put the first six ingredients in a big bowl. Mix together with a whisk. You can use all whole wheat if you want, or even try other whole grain flours.

2. Place in an airtight container. You can store this for up to 3 months.

3. Then when you are ready to whip up a delicious batch of pancakes all you do is add 1 1/2 cups of the dry mix, water, olive oil and an egg.

*This will make about 6-8 pancakes (smaller size). If you like thicker pancakes, add up to 1/4 cup more mix to your batter. Note: Some of our favorite things to add to our pancakes are:

Berries
Cinnamon and apple chunks
Finely chopped nuts
Poppy seeds and lemon zest

About the Author: Yvonne Wonder

As the founder and managing director of Destination Sitters, LLC, a national hotel and event babysitting service, and the mother of two children, I strongly believe that family comes first. I personally needed babysitting when I moved to San Diego 14 years ago. Like most parents, I assumed there were standards for temporary babysitting; in reality, there are no state standards or licensing requirements for temporary babysitting. The idea for Destination Sitters was born! I wanted to Give Parents Peace of Mind® when traveling with their children, so I created strict screening requirements for the sitters we refer. There is nothing like the peace of mind that comes from getting great professional help to care for your children, especially when traveling away from home. I and my partners, along with our office staff, have that one goal in mind with everything we do. Through the years of working with children, I have been inspired to write three books, and this blog for parents’ and children’s wellbeing. I believe the best way to teach a child is leading by example, with love, honesty, integrity, compassion, perseverance, and personal responsibility. Learning these values and teaching children that all women and men are equal will encourage them to dream big to be anything they want to be! An entrepreneur for over 35 years, I previously spent years running a construction and design company with two offices in California and built million-dollar estates and remodeled existing ones. For three and half years, I was one of the primary designers on HGTV’s Curb Appeal. I have also been published in books, magazines and newspapers, and have been a featured designer in multiple showcase houses.
