Flying Saucers

Prepare these for a healthier pancake.

Yield: about 10 to 12 four inch pancakes Preparation Time: minutes to mix!

I often sextuple the batter and freeze the extra prepared pancakes. This cuts downs on frozen pancake and waffle purchases. The sextupled amount is listed in brackets.

Ingredients 1 cup "complete" pancake mix [6 cups] (I use      Krusteaz Wheat & Honey complete pancake    mix) 1/2 cup instant uncooked oats [3 cups] (you can use    old-fashioned, but the texture will be a bit more    chewy) 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ [3 cups] 1 1/2 cups milk [9 cups, plus more especially if using    regular rolled oats] Directions 1. Mix together dry ingredients. Stir in milk 2. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake on nonstick skillet and cook over low to medium-high heat until bubbles form on top. Turn and cook another minute or two.

Notes: 32 oz. box of Krusteaz pancake mix has at least 6 cups 12 oz. jar of wheat germ is just under 3 cups
