New Pancake Recipe: Cream of Wheat Griddle Cakes-YUM!

I was moved to look for some new recipes yesterday.  I love to cook, but recently I just haven't had the spark.  Apparently something jumped up and bit me though, because I spent a couple of hours scanning Allrecipes.com for new meal ideas and adding them to my recipe box!

School days are always hectic, so I opted to get busy and try this new pancake recipe right away.  It uses Cream of Wheat to give griddle cakes a little extra nutrition and flavor.  Since we are already fans of the Cream of Wheat, I had everything I needed for these on hand too!

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Cream of Wheat
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/3 cup white sugar (I think I accidentally left this out, but they were still great)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Mix all dry ingredients in large bowl
2. Whisk wet ingredients together in medium to large mixing bowl
3. Add wet ingredients into center of dry
4. Stir just until blended; do not overstir
5. Pour batter into skillet and heat over medium heat; flip to brown both sides

I served them with good old maple syrup, but I'm sure they would taste just as delicious with any variety of pancake toppings.
