How to Make Pancakes 

1. Mix ground flax seed with water and set aside; let it “gel” together a few minutes.

2.  Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) in large mixing bowl.

3.  In small bowl, combine wet ingredients (milk/milk alternative, oil, syrup, and flax seed/water mix) and stir together.

4.  Then add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined (don’t overmix). NOTE: if the batter is too runny, add a little more flour; if too thick, add a little more milk/milk alt.

5.  Heat griddle/frying pan and spray with non-fat cooking spray.

6.  Ladle ¼ cup of batter into the pan and let it cook until small bubbles form in the center and/ or edges are cooked. Flip pancake over and cook for another minute or so.
