I have some organic flaxseed pancake mix that tastes a lot
better than it sounds.  The creepy part is flaxseed pieces look
suspiciously like the little grain bugs that sometimes move into a bag of
flour.  So once I give the bag a good shake and inspect it with a
magnifying glass just to be certain there's no extra protein in there, I make
some yummy pancakes and serve them with a hot apple topping.  The mix
calls for water and a little oil, but it needs a lot more liquid to make sure
they're not dry.  Soy milk works too.  Hold the pancakes in a warm
oven while you make the topping.



Hot Apple Topping

1 apple, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 orange
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons maple syrup 

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat and squeeze in the
juice of half an orange. Add apple and
top with brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup. Stir to cover apple well and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot pancakes and serve. Makes 2 servings.
