Library Pancakes

Several years ago I began the perfect pancake quest. So began the Library Pancakes. Zachary had just built a new library and there was a commercial development next to the Library. So we very briefly entertained the idea of opening The Library Cafe. When I cook something that everyone likes, we add it to the menu of The Library Cafe.

I had fresh figs picked at Port Hudson Organics CSA 

so I used those to make fig syrup.

Chopped figs, added 1 TBS Agave Nectar (or honey), simmer for 15 minutes

 These are the best!

Library Pancakes

1 cup unbleached white flour

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/3 cup yellow corn meal

1/3 cup florida crystals (or sugar)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 1/2 cups vanilla soy milk

1/4 cup applesauce

1 egg substitute (I use Ener-g)

1. Combine flours, corn meal, and next 5 ingredients (through ginger) in large bowl. Stir.

2. Combine milk, applesauce and egg substitute in a medium bowl, stirring until well blended. 

3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.

4. Heat griddle or skillet. Coat with cooking spray.

5. Cook until bubbly on top, flip and cook through.

We have been known to add raisins, walnuts or bananas are times.
