Which came first.....?

I'm inclined to think it was Mama Hen and Daddy Rooster during Creation Week; and around here, the chickens definitely came first and now, finally, an EGG!!

Here's what I'll probably cook with our first egg, a way the whole family can share! (Go ahead and laugh! You'll be laughing with us, not at us...we know how corny we are!)

Whole Wheat Pancakes (delicious!)

Mix:

3/4 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 c. King Arthur white whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

Separately, whisk:

1 large egg

1 1/3 c. buttermilk*

1 Tbsp. oil

Combine just until moist; batter will be lumpy. Pour 1/4 c. batter for each pancake onto greased hot griddle. Makes 10 4-inch. pancakes. Dried blueberries or fresh diced apples may be added. Serve with maple syrup. *(To sour sweet milk, add 1 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice and fill to make 1 c. milk; let stand for 5 minutes)

For the best pancake flipper in the world, check out my sister Keri's website and look on page 30 of the new Spring Catalog. It's called the extra wide turner.
