Blueberry pancakes

Ingredients 1/2 cup whole wheat flour  1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 egg 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 cup milk Blueberries Method Mix dry ingredients together Mix in egg, oil and milk.  Reserve a little bit of the milk, and add gradually until the mix can be poured.  If it's too thin, it won't be as fluffy Preheat skillet on medium Wait 6 minutes to allow mixture to mix and skillet to preheat Pour batter, add blueberries, cook until you can flip Flip, cook until done Notes A lot depends on the exact temperature of the skillet.  Too hot, it will burn before all the batter is cooked.  Too cool, it will be cardboardy The mixture will thicken in the 6 minutes, so you may need to add a little milk to allow it to be pourable.  Be careful, a 1/4 tsp can be the difference between too much and too little
