Wheat Germ Griddle Cakes

Better than pancakes, these are light and fluffy. We serve them with applesauce, fruit compote, or the traditional maple syrup. We often have these for dinner when we find the fridge is empty. (Serves 4 - 6 for a light lunch. We usually double this for a dinner meal.)

1 ½ cup wheat germ
1 ¼ cup white flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
1/8 tsp mace

2 ¼ cups milk
3 eggs
6 Tbsp oil (90 ml)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Optional:
1 cup blueberries or
2 apples, peeled and chopped

Combine and beat wet ingredients.
Add to blended dry ingredients and mix.
Bake on a hot griddle, turning once.
