Whole Wheat Corn Hotcakes

My son and I were experimenting with using whole grains and we came up with this recipe. We found that the cooking heat is a bit lower than normal pancakes would require and that they need to be carefully watched and turned. If you want to add fruit, sprinkle them into the batter after you put the batter on the griddle. We like bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or mandarin orange segments.
