Wheaty Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 tbsp wheat germ
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup low-fat milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1 egg, whisked

Put all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix, or sift, together well. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients to pour in the milk, butter, and whisked egg. Mix together.

Heat a lightly oiled pan or griddle on medium to high heat until it begins to sizzle. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the pan and cook until small bubbles begin to appear on surface, then flip over with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve with fruit compote or maple syrup!
