Good morning pancakes!
There is always something extremely comforting in digging in to a stack of pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning. As I do have a go-to plain pancake that I usually make every Saturday morning, I thought that I should make pancakes using whole wheat flour. I mean, whole wheat has never killed anyone.
Well, unless you count the whole wheat in rat poison. Another reason why I'm thankful I'm not a rat. Second only to the fact that everyone would run away from me if I were a rat. And that would just kill my self esteem right there.
And so, in my PJ pants and a my Disney shirt, I set out to make these pancakes. I put all the ingredients in the bowl when, wait... I don't have any eggs!
This, my friends, NEVER happens. I always have 2 dozen eggs in my fridge.
So you know my next course of action: No time to change. I rush out the door, go to the nearest Safeway, buy a couple of things, walk out.
Go to car...wait a second.. No eggs again! Of course.. Go back in the store..
I can't resist steaming hot photos
And I am very glad that I did finally end up making these. They were great. But, unlike my go-to pancakes, this made too many for two people. What to do...what to do..
Freeze them of course! Save them for later! Now these toasted pancakes: I don't know, I actually think I preferred them to when they were fresh. See, with the toasted kind, it left them nice and crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside.
I have never tried doing this before. I would always throw away the extra pancakes that no one ate (because really, who likes soggy pancakes?) This is such a great solution. No waste! Because I HATE wasting food. It hurts me a little inside when I do. Good thing I don't work in a restaurant

Ha! What tasty looking "toast"!
Your pancakes look so fluffy and wonderful - especially for whole wheat pancakes. I freeze leftover pancakes too (I hate throwing out the extras) and chuck them in the toaster for a quick breakfast without all the fuss 🙂 BTW, never knew whole wheat was poison to rats. Very interesting factoid!
