Whole Wheat Waffles

Whole Wheat Pancakes (– from my sister, Sheryl Halls, adapted from my mother's recipe)

2 C. whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 C. milk (3/4 c. milk 3/4 water okay too)
1/4 C. oil
1/4 C. honey
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

~Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir by hand until well blended. Cook on a lightly oiled grill.

~Variations:

Grated fresh apple and walnuts - Add the walnuts on top after pouring pancake mixture on grill. They get all toasty and delicious.

Or 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 tsp. almond extract.

Serve however you like your pancakes! Lately, we have been enjoying our pancakes and waffles in this house with Plain Greek Yogurt. (Not the lowfat kind, silly!) It is like having ice cream on your waffles and feels like such a treat with heated frozen strawberries. One of the best dinners around!

Indian Fry Bread or Navajo Tacos

Ok, so I've used a regular white bread recipe and also rhodes rolls before to make Indian Fry Bread but decided to look up a recipe about a year ago and found something that seemed pretty legit. I really like how this recipe turns out so I thought I would share.

Indian Fry Bread                                                             Makes 6-8

2 C. Flour

1 T. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Salt

1 C. Milk

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add milk stirring to combine. Take out of bowl and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Then let rest 5 minutes. Roll out or stretch with hands into flat circles, using more flour or oiled hands.  Fry in 1” of oil, heated to 375* F, flipping halfway through cooking. Top with beans, cheese. lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream.

Save some for dessert with butter and honey!
