Cooking Instructions

 

Prepare the cherry sizzle:

1. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fruit and cook until the cherries begin to soften slightly about two to three minutes. 

 

2. Add the maple syrup and bring to a boil.

Set aside and keep warm.

 

For the whole wheat griddle cakes:

3. Mix the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl. (This can be done the night before and kept covered on the counter.)

 

4. Lightly beat the milk, egg, oil, and honey together.

 

5. Add the liquid ingredients all at once to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just moistened. Do not over mix, a few lumps are fine.

 

6. Warm a lightly greased griddle pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on the griddle form fast-moving bubbles.

 

7. Pour batter onto the griddle: 1/8 cup for small or 1/4 cup for large pancakes. When the tops of the pancakes are covered with holes and the bottoms are golden brown, flip to brown the other side.

 

8. Serve the griddle cakes topped with the cherry sizzle.
