Buttermilk Wheat Pancakes

This originally was an all purpose flour recipe that we tried to make healthier. We also substitute the sugar with Splenda. You can put a couple tablespoons of melted butter in the recipe, but I leave it out. My family loves them. My 4 year old makes them with me. He measures and tastes all ingredients. This recipe has been cut in half from the original to fit our family, so double if needed.

3. Lightly beat the egg, then add to dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Some lumps are fine, careful to not over mix.
