I don't remember where i found this copycat recipe. I am always looking for ways to sneak some healthier things into the foods kids love. The cream of wheat & buttermilk in this recipe are one way to do that. Serve these with your favorite syrups, or fresh fruit and a bit of whipped cream. A warm blueberry or saskatoon berry sauce is always nice on any kind of pancake, griddle cake or french toast. We prefer smaller pancakes or griddlecakes rather than the plate size ones they serve in restaurants. The cooking time is based on using a cast iron fryingpan, so i can only cook 4 griddlecakes at a time. They do warm up nicely if you have any leftovers.
