Whole Wheat Pancakes/Waffles

This is the recipe for the pancakes and waffles that Mom and Dad always made growing up.

1 cup wheat flour, sifted with:
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch sugar
1 pinch salt

1 cup milk
1 egg
1 Tbsp oil (can use less for pancakes)

Mix all ingredients together in a blender or in a glass measuring cup. If the batter is a little thin, you may want to add a little more flour. If it's not thin enough, add a little more milk.

Fry in greased pan or on greased griddle at medium heat. When bubbles begin to burst, flip pancakes over until thoroughly cooked. Serve and enjoy!

For waffles, follow the cooking time that the waffle iron suggests.

1 can water
Grated cheese
Diced onion
Cooked ground beef (optional)
Diced olives (optional)

Put soup, chilis, water, and sour cream in saucepan and bring to boiling point, but do not boil. Turn off heat.
