By far the best pancake recipe we have come across. As stated, it's from the Joy of Cooking under Four-Grain flapjacks. Our family version tends to add slightly more oats, 1/3 cup. Then we add spiced apples to the batter, and if we are being uber fancy, candied walnuts. We serve with maple syrup and yogurt.

Delicious. I substituted rye flour for the whole wheat flour and kept everything else as-is in the recipe. Hit with the entire family, including a picky 4-year old and a 2-year old who rarely eats anything but bacon and fruit for breakfast. I added a photo of the pancakes - they looked pretty too! Browned nicely.
