Eartha's Crack-Cakes

I don't usually post recipes - I'm not that fabulous a cook, and I generally leave that sort of thing to the lovely and gifted Venus. However, a tiny bit of genius accidentally fell out of my brain and into the batter last weekend, and what resulted were whole wheat pancakes that my children not only ate, but did so without butter or syrup. This, in my household, is a minor miracle and certainly worth memorializing on the internet.

Here's the super-simple recipe: Stir together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon baking soda, and (here's the magic ingredient) 1/4 cup yellow cake mix until smooth. Then fry 'em up. If you need directions on that part, you should ask someone else because I'm generally half-way through the batter before I manage to make one that looks right. This makes quite a few pancakes, but they are totally freezable and awesome for a quick breakfast or snack. You're welcome. And before anybody gets on my case about processed foods/cake mix/yada yada - it's a fourth of a cup in more than a dozen pancakes. Get over yourself.

Also worth noting is that my appetite is back in a major way. At the rate I'm eating, I'll have my tits back in no time.
