Whole Wheat Pancakes

This is one of my all time favorite pancake recipes and I have no idea why I haven't posted it here.  What a shame.  It's from an old friend who started to teach me how to think of food very differently.  Nadia taught me how to make my own bread and yogurt and lots of other things.  I learned what whole wheat flour was and wheat germ and all kinds of other good things.  This was my first love affair with breakfast pancakes.
