This post is completely different than our usual subject matter, but thought it might be a good experiment. Are there any dads out there, looking for a new pancake variation to impress the family with on Sunday mornings?

Why not try this delicious and healthy, southeast original recipe? It was created by an experimental dad and it's a guaranteed hit!

The batch is slightly larger than many pancake recipes but it's perfect for a hungry family of four big appetites.

1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cup whole grain flour mix
   (1/2 whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 whole grain barley flour)
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons nut oil (or high-oleic safflower/sunflower oil)

1) Mix milk and vinegar in a bowl and set aside, to curdle milk.

2) Mix dry ingredients together. Preheat griddle to 325-350 degrees.

4) Mix butter and egg whites with milk mixture, then combine with dry ingredients.

Lightly wipe griddle with nut oil (has higher smoke point than olive oil) and spoon batter onto grill. Serve hot.

Any other flour blend can be used but we find the combination of whole wheat pastry flour and whole grain barley flour will appeal to the "white bread taste buds" of the most stubborn whole-grain-haters. These are flat out delicious!
