Fluffy buttermilk pancakes!

OK, so do you know about Omega-3's and all their wonderful benefits? Well, I have been doing research on them, reading books, scouring the web and all sorts of stuff and have come across an amazing recipe for pancakes that have Omega-3's! YAY! I know, your jumping for joy. HAHA
Well, its a few simple ingredients and you have some scrumptious homemade pancakes that you know exactly what is in them... no Bisquick necessary. (I must admit I do have Bisquick in my pantry, in case of emergencies.)
First of all, you will have to purchase some flaxseed mill. I buy mine at Kroger or Walmart, but the other day I saw it at H.E.B. for only $4! Scoooooore! That's a dollar cheaper than I usually pay for it. Anyhow, this recipe also take buttermilk, surprise, I know. Did I give that away in the title>?

Recipe:
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1Cup buttermilk (low fat preferably)
3/4 Cup Organic All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 Cup Flaxseed Meal
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp Organic Sugar
1 Omega-3 egg

Baggies of dry pancake mix!
Whenever I make these pancakes I make about 6 baggies and just toss them in the freezer to use whenever my babies want pancakes. This way, I'm not measuring everything out every time we want pancakes, that's a chore.

Directions:
Toss all the dry ingredients together in Ziploc baggies and freeze until use. Then take out and mix egg and vanilla. Add buttermilk and stir gently. Pour in dry ingredients and mix gently. If you over stir the buttermilk mixture then your pancakes will not be soooo fluffy. (they fluff up once flipped, usually ;)) Keep heat low enough that pancake bottoms brown within 2-4 minutes. I keep my stove just about medium or right under medium. They turn out great!!!
Pancake!

Hope you like these pancakes!
Taste: MMMM
Try again: YES, I make these like 2-4 times a week!
Healthy:hummm sure, without syrup. ;)
Lesson learned: I learned the first time I made these to make a bunch of mix and put in baggies!

Gotta love it!

God made me, and my love for cooking!
