More Breakfast

I made pancakes! While this wasn't my first move upon adopting a traditional diet, I did eventually get a copy of Sally Fallon's book Nourishing Traditions. It's a combination manual to the traditional foods way of eating, and extensive cookbook. Since the NT concept includes eating whole grains and soaking them in an acidic liquid before eating, I finally decided to use her recipe for pancakes.

Whole wheat flour and a combination of yogurt, non-homogenized milk, and a little water sleep together in a cozy bowl overnight. Yes, I did use the last bits of everything in the fridge, thank you for asking. In the morning, I stirred in melted butter, beaten eggs, salt, and baking soda.

Then a trip to a hot, buttered pan. I'm actually terrible at making pancakes. I invariably burn them while the insides are still gooey. But I did okay this morning.

I had mine with butter and apple butter between the layers, and butter, apple butter, almonds, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup on top. Yum.

My husband went for the traditional butter and syrup. Recipe is from Nourishing Traditions.
