This is one of my all-time favorite breakfast foods! Some people call this dish a "German Pancake," but I've known it as a "Hootenanny Pancake" from the first time I made this recipe in Home Economics. Whenever I'm having one of those moments when I'm starving, don't feel like going out, and haven't been grocery shopping in weeks - this is what I make. It's so easy to throw together, and I always have these simple ingredients on hand.
When I first made this for Alex, he stated it was simply a big Yorkshire pudding. I don't think it's quite the same - this is more of a sweet dish, rather than savory. But I can definitely see the similarities, especially in the way its prepared. Maybe that's why I took to Yorkshire pudding so quickly. :-)
Hootenanny Pancakes
Recipe from I'm a Lazy Mom
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of butter (half a stick)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 eggs
- Set oven to 425 degrees. Place butter in a 9x13 glass pan, and put in oven to melt while preheating.
- While butter is melting, combine flour, milk, salt, and eggs in blender. Blend until mixture is frothy, scraping down the sides occasionally.
- When oven has reached 425, and butter is completely melted (it will be sizzling at this point), quickly pour mixture into glass pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. It will puff up significantly. No peaking, as opening the oven door will deflate the pancake.
- Serve with whatever breakfast topping you'd like - syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
