German Pancake

If you ask my son Elias how to make German Pancake, he will tell you:

6 eggs
1 cup of flour
1 cup of milk

Bake it in 400 degrees F, and then he will say "that's it". Yes it is that simple and it is very yummy.

DIRECTIONS:

1. In  a large baking pan, pour 2 table spoon of cooking oil. Spread around the pan. Put it in the oven to heat up for about 5 minutes.

2. While pan is heating up, using mixer, mix all ingredients at medium speed for about 1 minute.









3. Pull out the pan from the oven using cooking mittens, pour batch into the pan. Place it back in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes.

 4. Serve while warm. Sprinkle lemon juice and icing sugar. Serve it while it is hot. Enjoy.

 Note: I like mine with a lot of lemon juice, while others may not like it that way. You can serve them and have individuals put their lemon juice or not. Enjoy!

Dollar Pancakes

It is called "Dollar Pancakes." Only Canadians can relate since the Americans do not have a $1 dollar coin, ha ha ha. These dollar pancakes is one of my son's favorite breakfast. I cannot count how many he can eat at one time, he loves it. He in fact, helps me make them. For fun, we make alphabets or numbers or shapes with the batter. It's a fun way to have your child help make their own breakfast, and also a fun way to teach number, alphabets, and shapes

INGREDIENTS:

1 large egg
1 cup all purpose or whole wheat flour
3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp granulated or packed brown sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Butter, stick margarine or shortening

Note: This recipe is a regular pancake recipe.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat egg in medium bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except butter just until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
2. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Grease griddle with butter if necessary.
3. Use a tablespoon to measure and cook 2 dollar pancakes per tablespoon. The tablespoon is also ideal for shaping.
4. Cook pancake until bubbly on top, puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
