Whole Wheat Pancakes or Waffles

Okay, this doesn't have lots of brown sugar in it, but it has some... and I thought that was weird the first time I made these. You never think that pancake or waffle batter might have brown sugar in it... I didn't anyways. These are delicious we made them Sunday!

Mix with a whisk:
3 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. salt
1 heaping T. baking powder

In a separate bowl combine:
3 heaping T. brown sugar
3 eggs (separate, beat whites until stiff and fold into everything very LAST)
3 c. milk
1 T. vanilla
3 T. oil

FOR WAFFLES: add 2 more eggs and 1 more T. of oil
Mix wet ingredients with beaters, add dry ingredients with a whisk, fold in egg whites, and do not over mix. *sidenote* Here's what I do: 1. put the flour mixture in a big bowl 2. put egg white in a separate bowl and add the yolks right into the flour mixture. 3. beat the whites until stiff 4. add all the other wet ingredients to the big bowl and beat with the beaters 5. fold in the egg whites with a spatula.... This seems to save bowls and it isn't as complicated.

Enjoy - let me know if you have questions!
