I woke up one morning with a hankering for pancakes, but only 1/2 C. of flour in the pantry (I use white whole wheat flour). Usually I make a half recipe using the first (plainest) recipe in Joy of Cooking, but that would have required 3/4 C. of flour. Instead of making a "third"-sized recipe, I made up the difference with half a cup of cereal. I used Kashi Black Currant and Walnut cereal, which is like extra-fancy raisin bran.
The pancakes turned out really well. I used less water than I usually do (the recipe calls for milk, but I use water). The chunks of cereal were a bit chewy and sticky--I would recommend soaking the cereal in the water or milk before adding both to the batter.
Here it is in the skillet (chunky!):
And here's the finished meal in some beautiful morning light:
Topping with blueberries and honey was a very good idea.
A+
