1 c stone-ground local Durham wheat-berries (or whole wheat pastry flour)
¾ c Velvet mesquite meal
3 ½ tsp baking powder (* see note below)
¼ tsp salt

Mix dry ingredients. This recipe can be multiplied and stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

For roughly 2 cups of dry mix use:
1 egg
2 Tbsp oil
1c milk
1c water (or more milk)

Whisk together the egg, oil, and milk. Mix in dry ingredients. Add water to desired consistency. Ladle ¼ c onto a lightly oiled griddle on medium-low heat. Watch the bottom of the pancake for the desired brown color. Flip and cook through. Serve with prickly pear syrup, agave nectar, or mesquite honey.

* Baking Powder: This recipe calls for fresh, non-aluminum baking powder (single-acting??) from the Food Conspiracy Co-op bulk jar. When replaced with conventional, double-acting (even non-aluminum) baking powder from the grocery store, use less. We will investigate further and report the results.
