Blueberry Happy Jacks

Welcome Home, Stinky Dink!

This morning Mamama invented yet another new recipe...this one a mod on the traditional pancake that we're calling Blueberry Happy Jacks

Blueberry Happy Jacks
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground flax seed
1 beaten egg
1 Tbsp molasses
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp cooking oil
remaining frozen blueberries (1/2 cup would be good)

In whatever container you usually use for mixing pancakes, mix all the dry stuff together (including ground flax seed). In a separate container, beat the egg, then add the molasses, milk, and oil; mix these well. Then put the wet stuff into the dry stuff and stir until mixed but a bit lumpy.

Take frozen blueberries and rinse until they are mostly thawed, or thawed enough. Put these in the batter, stir once, but if you stir more than once, you'll have blue blueberry happy jacks which are fine, but not everyone likes their food blue.

I made silver dollar sized Happy Jacks by using a Tablespoon to scoop batter onto the hot frying pan. Size as you prefer.

Feed small child as you go, because otherwise you'll end up with grumpy small child who smells food but wonders why she can't have any. I spooned Yo Baby blueberry yogurt on top of hers, and then mine, because the combo was quite tasty. Eat with fork, or hands, as you prefer.

Ava, you out ate Mamama when it came to Happy Jacks. You ate seven to my five!

It's good to have you home, even if the house is completely impossible to keep clean for more than five minutes.

I love you,
Mamama
