Healthy & Delicious Pancakes with Blackberry Syrup

Ready for a good breakfast this morning? Here are the ingredients you'll need:

A couple of good helpers and:

For pancakes:

4 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp. baking soda

4 tsp. baking powder

4 eggs

1 - 32 oz. carton of yogurt, plain or vanilla

2 cups water

For syrup:

6 cups blackberries

1 1/2 cup sugar

3 tsp. lemon juice

1/2 cup water

Combine dry pancake ingredients in a bowl (sorry for my less than perfect pictures. My camera never takes great ones in artificial light and it was still dark out... "She rises while it is still night and prepares food for her household..." Proverbs 31:15)

Mix wet pancake ingredients in a separate bowl with a whisk. Add the dry to the wet mixture. Drop on hot griddle by 1/4 to 1/2 cups.

While you are waiting, put all the syrup ingredients in to a pot and cook on medium, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook 2-3 minutes and mash the fruit against the sides of the pot. Cool slightly.

Does anyone else use a pizza cutter to cut pancakes and just about everything else that goes to the table for your little ones?

Give hungry children their breakfast.

Wait for compliments.
