I made a necklace and Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

If you haven't entered my giveaway for this cute Songberrie Necklace, you can find all the details here!



This is my gold lace bib necklace that I made. I'm kinda proud of it! I had so much fun making it. I haven't done beading since I was a teenager. I think I'll have to do some more of it!

I found the idea over at Ruffles and Stuff. Disney has such great ideas. I changed it a little, and I'm thinking of still adding something.

I found this recipe over at Our Best Bites. The kids loved these pancakes, but we forgot to take a picture. But you know what pancakes look like, right?

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes


3/4 cup wheat flour
3/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon oil
1 large egg
1 large egg white
Cooking Spray or butter for pan

*As a substitute for 1 cup buttermilk, place 1 Tbs lemon juice (or vinegar but I prefer lemon juice) in a 1 cup measuring cup and then fill the remainder with milk. This recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup buttermilk, so do the same thing with 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup milk.

Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk together. In a separate bowl combine buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla and whisk well. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until moistened and combined.

Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet to medium heat. Coat pan with non-stick spray or a little butter and then pour on pancake batter. Use about 1/4 C batter for large pancakes (5-6") and 2 tablespoons for kid-sized ones (2 /2-3"). Wait until bubbles form and edges are set and then flip.

Makes 12 large or 24 small pancakes.
