Good Morning!

Here's a great way to get your day going...  wheat pancakes and buttermilk syrup.

Wheat Pancake Mix

5 cups wheat flour

1/3 cup baking powder

1 cup dry powdered milk

2 tsp. cream of tartar

4 cups white flour

1 cup sugar

1 Tbsp. salt

Mix together and store in a covered container.  To make pancakes, combine:

3 cups mix

2 cups water

1/3 cup oil*

1 egg*

*Instead of the oil and egg, I put in 1/2 cup applesauce.  They taste great, and you cut out all that fat... which then justifies smothering them in buttermilk syrup.  Right?!

Buttermilk Syrup

1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)

1 cup buttermilk

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup light corn syrup

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

Melt the margarine in a large pot, then add buttermilk, sugar, and corn syrup.  Combine together and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for 4 minutes.  Turn off heat, add in vanilla and baking soda.  Stir while foam reduces.  Enjoy!
