Recipe for Pax Cakes

In some churches small buns called Pax cakes (symbolic of peace and goodwill) are given to the congregation as they leave after a Palm Sunday service.

Beat one egg. Add and beat until smooth:
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup white flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon salt

Grease a heated skillet or griddle. Pour batter from jug onto the hot griddle in
3 to 5 cm diameter dollops. Turn the Pax cakes when bubbles show.
Heat on the second side until brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cinnamon may be added if desired.
Makes 30-50 Pax cakes.
Variation: Use 1 cup white flour, instead of combining whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and white flour.
