Laura's Autumn Pancakes

1 c. white flour

1 c. whole wheat flour

1/4 c. brown sugar

1 heaping T. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. ginger

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

2 T. wheat germ or ground flax seed (optional)

2 T. oil

1/4 c. molasses

2 eggs

1-3/4 milk

Blend the dry ingredients together in large bowl. In a medium bowl, blend the wet ingredients, then mix with the dry ingredients until the batter is thoroughly blended. Pour the batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a skillet on medium heat. When bubbles begin to appear in the batter, flip the pancake with a spatula to cook the other side. When the pancake is finished cooking, flip it onto a plate and eat them warm!

Suggested toppings:

warm applesauce

maple syrup

apple butter

vanilla yogurt with apple slices

This is my first "totally made up" recipe (aside from a disgusting fiasco at age 8 or 9), so if you try it, let me know what you think!
