Best Pancakes Ever!

Husband cooked, but I was his inspiration (okay, it could have been the fabulous raspberries we picked up at the farmers market that inspired him). These were the BEST pancakes I have ever had! So tasty it would be a crime to smother them in syrup or anything else for that matter. We ate them topped with a light dollop of whip cream (from a can). If the tastiness of these pancakes doesn't convince you (and I feel like a traitor because I've been a loyal Bisquick fan for years), then at least make these because they are whole wheat.

Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raspberries
non-stick cooking spray

1) Beat egg in bowl until fluffy (may want to use hand beater for this). Beat in remaining ingredients except margarine and raspberries. Once batter is smooth, add about 3/4s the raspberries and mix lightly.

2. Heat griddles over medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.

4. For each pancake, pour slightly less then 1/4 a cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook pancake until puffed and dry around the edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.

5. Garnish cooked pancakes with remaining raspberries. You may want to add a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to taste. We did a little dollop of whipped cream and it was perfect!

Now for the tasty pictures:


Halfway eaten, these pancakes still look good:
