Fluffy Whole-Wheat Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup


Have you ever wanted a nice, light whole-wheat pancake without having to use your blender?  This is it!  I adapted it from a recipe in Cook's Illustrated magazine.  I love them with blueberries and cinnamon syrup!  Enjoy...

Pancakes
2 1/3 cups whole-wheat flour
2 TB sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk  (Or mix 1 TB lemon juice with 2 c. regular milk)
5 TB vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Optional: 1/2 cup blueberries, dash of cinnamon

Heat griddle or cast-iron pan to medium heat and oil lightly.  Mix dry ingredients in large bowl; then mix wet ingredients in smaller bowl, beating eggs and whisking the rest.  Gently pour wet mixture into dry mixture and whisk together.  If desired, add blueberries and a dash of cinnamon.  Cook for 1-2 minutes on medium heat and flip when side is golden brown.  Serve with Cinnamon Syrup or your favorite syrup!  

Cinnamon Syrup
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup milk or evaporated milk

Mix first four ingredient in medium-sized pot and bring to a full, rolling boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.  Then stir in milk and enjoy!
