Dutch Pancakes
Why I Love This Recipe
My family moved here from Holland just before I was born. These pancakes, a little thicker and eggier than a crepe, are eaten in our family for breakfast or for dinner. They are great with maple syrup and fried apples. Leftovers are good eaten cold and rolled up with sugar or jam.
Ingredients You'll Need
6 eggs
1 3/4 C flour
1 T sugar
1 T vegetable oil
1 1/4 C milk
Directions
In large bowl, beat eggs with with wire wisk. Add flour and continue to beat until mixture is smooth.
Beat in sugar, oil and milk.
Batter should be the consistancy of buttermilk. Add additional flour or milk if needed.
Let batter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter in skillet.
Add 1/4 C pancake batter to pan and tilt to coat the bottom.
Fry pancake until top is nearly dry, then flip to other side.
The pancake may curl slightly at this point and that is normal, but if it curls too much, add a bit of milk to batter.
Continue to fry pancake until it is brown on both sides, then stack on plate.
Serve rolled and topped with real maple syrup, jam, or sugar.
