Best Buttermilk Pancakes

Serves: 18 3-inch pancakes, 2 pancakes per serving

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup GNC Natural BrandTM Soy Baking Mix
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups fat-free buttermilk
• 1 egg, plus 2 whites
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, soy baking mix, baking powder, and baking soda
2. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk, sugar, and oil
3. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until they are just combined. The batter will be thick and lumpy
4. Heat a griddle or heavy skillet, greasing it lightly, if necessary
5. When it is hot, drop the batter by the quarter cup into the hot surface
6. When bubbles rise to the surface and the bottom of the pancakes are brown, about 2 minutes, turn and cook until firm to the touch and brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes
7. Serve hot, with syrup. Incredibly tender, these pancakes are great plain, or add 1/2 cup blueberries to the batter.
