Yes! It is finally raining here after a streak of over a hundred for awhile. Since it is raining, I thought I would get in the kitchen and try something out of the cookbook pictured above, that my mother in law got for me for Mother's Day. The book is "Quick and Easy Family Baking- Cakes, Cookies, Pies &Breads, that Anyone Can Bake. " I have to say this book is so far holding to its word.
The recipe I decided to test out on the hubby this time was the "German Gigantic Pancake" on page 8.
Here is the recipe that I speak of :
1/2 c flour
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Powdered Sugar
Maple Syrup
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Beat flour and eggs in bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pour into sprayed 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Pancake will puff into big bubbles while baking.
Cut into wedges and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with melted butter and maple syrup. Serves 3 to 4.
When I did this recipe in my home I did a three modifications to the recipe to fit what I had.
The first of the modifications was I added what I had left of some frozen peaches, after I cut them up while frozen. I threw them in to finish the bag off. I also used an extra egg since I had four and did not want it to go to waste.
The second of the modifications is that I used Lactose Free Milk, and it came out great. Which was even a surprise to me. But you could not tell the difference in the end product, which is great, so it can satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.
So, enjoy this recipe, more will follow. Who knows what I will test on the hubby, friends, or family next. As the fair draws near you will see what I come up with for competition, up to the turn in time. Keep your eyes peeled, More Fun to Come......To be Continued.......
