Family of Walls

This is a blog about a loving family that has since scattered across the country (soon to be five states). We are a goofy bunch. The adventures that we have on each of our different paths create great stories that we all love to share with each other. Now with this blog I hope that you can enjoy them too.

Yummy Pancakes!

Hey family! In my request for recipes a friend gave me this recipe, and I had to share it because it is so good! Brandon touted that they were the best he has ever had. Can you believe I don't think I have ever made homemade pancakes before? At least not that I can remember.

So, forget buying more Bisquick or what ever you tend to purchase and try this out. Sorry Marty, you can't make these in a crock pot! You make the mix and just keep it in the pantry until you wish to have more.

Oatmeal Pancake Mix

4C old fashioned oats

3T baking powder

2C flour

2T cinnamon

2C whole wheat flour

5tsp salt

1C packed brown sugar

1/2tsp cream of tarter

1C instant dry milk

Mix ingredients together. Store in a sealed container or Ziploc bag. Makes 10 cups.

To make pancakes:

2 eggs

1/3C olive oil or applesauce

2C pancake mix

1C water

Beat eggs in bowl. Gradually beat in oil. Alternately add pancake mix and water to mixture. Blend well. Yields 10 pancakes.

Enjoy! A new Saturday Morning tradition is created. Now the only question is which color of MarySue's dishes do we serve them on?

Hee, Hee, Hee, Hee. Recently though Alyas will pat Brandon's tummy when we ask him "where's the baby?" Our friend Dee is 8 months pregnant and Alyas is obsessed with touching her belly. When she isn't around guess who becomes the surrogate Mum with the cute tummy....Daddy!

Alyas will have a few things to learn in the preceding months I suppose. Congrats again to all you Grandma's, Grandpa's, Aunt's, Uncle's, and Great Grandparents! We are happy to beget another Wall into the world!
