Buttermilk Pancakes

Last night, I made a 'breakfast dinner,' one of my kids' favorite dinners! So, I thought I'd share my pancake recipe. My grandma made these for us while we were staying with her for Carly's wedding. The whipped egg whites make them super fluffy, and Nate, who is the ultimate 'soft, fluffy bread' kind of guy, says these are the best pancakes ever!

12-13 pancakes

1 1/2 c buttermilk
2 eggs, separated
1/4 c oil
1 1/2 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 t soda

Mix buttermilk, yolks, and oil well. Mix dry ingredients and add to egg mixture. Whip egg whites like for meringue. Fold into batter. Fry in a tiny dab of oil.

WWPoints: Using Low Fat Buttermilk, Splenda for baking, it is 2.7 points per pancake (given you get 13 out of the batch, which I do). Add some benefiber, and it'll drop even more!
