Great recipies, everyone!!!

OKAY, THAT'S GET SERIOUS ABOUT PANCAKES!!!!

This is a recipe for pancake mix you can prepare in batches and store, it is used witt either sweek milk or bittermilk, makes characterful pancakes, with the flavor of good grains and wiht a high-rising almost crunchy texture.

Makes three batches, each sufficient for 12-14 four-inch pancakes:

1 cup rye flour

1 cup whole-wheat flour

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground

1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoons baking soda

(I grind different grains like rice and oats or millet and make them with different flours, my juicer came with a grain-mill, boy, do I enjoy it, recommend highly to everyone, it is an easiest thing to operate and freshly ground grain is just like freshly ground coffee, I hope you will invest in one! )

Anyway, here are the directions for the mix:

1. Sift the flours, conrmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and soda into a bowl, using a wide-meshed sieve. With a large whisk, mix them very throughly for at least 30 seconds.

2. Measure the mix into three plastic bags or other containers, putting 1 3/4 cups into each, if any is leftover, divide between the batches. Close
