Too Hectic to Write, Enjoy a Recipe!

So, things have been over the top busy here in the Denglish (Deutsch-English) household.  I will update sooner, but, instead of a rant, observation, or tons of dry humor, I am posting my recipe for strawberry pancakes with vegan options.  Enjoy!

Strawberry Pancakes a la Denglish

Dry Ingredients:

¼ cup all purpose flour

¼ cup either flaxseed meal, bran, or grinded oats (old fashioned oats that you have thrown into the food processor)

½ to ¾ cup whole wheat flour

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 egg OR ¼ cup soy yogurt (the beauty of this, you can use either vanilla or berry flavored)

1 cup milk (I use almond milk)

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1-2 Tablespoons Vanilla extract or sugar free vanilla syrup (make my own and used that)

1 cup chopped fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries that have been thawed

Mix together all dry ingredients, making sure you get them evenly mixed so the grains aren’t formed in one area.  Reserve some of your flour to the side.  Mix together wet ingredients. Add wet to dry and stir, adding in additional flour if needed to thicken.  Stir in strawberries and let sit a few minutes.  When heating your skillet, keep on medium heat to prevent the strawberry pieces from scorching.  If using a griddle pan, use your best judgement. Add to hot pan in ¼ cup increments.

Note: I also threw in dried blueberries.  If you want to use an egg, put in the yolk, beat the whites into a meringue, and then stir the meringue into the batter, to ensure fluffier pancakes.

Guten Appetit!
