The Loosle Chronicles

Don’t these pancakes look delicious!?! I was so hungry this morning…well, more like this afternoon..heehee. Anyhow, I didn’t have milk and I didn’t have bread. Also…ever since Rina posted that she made chocolate chip pancakes I was craving some pancakes. So, I pulled out my Better Homes and Garden cook book I got for Christmas and found a pancake recipe. These are really easy to make. They’re also very light and fluffy. Make some soon! Enjoy!

Pancakes

1 3/4 cups all-purpous flour

2 Tbsp granulated sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 1/2 cups milk (I had to use powdered milk which tasted just fine)

3 Tbsp cooking oil

In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl use a fork to combine egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy). Cook (I use an electric skillet, but use whatever) and Eat!

I chose this as my picture of the day because I wanted to share with everyone that this is the right way to eat a thin pancake (according to Jon…lol). First you spread a little butter on the thin pancake, then sprinkle with sugar. Yup, just straight sugar. You then stab your fork into a side of the thin pancake and then use the fork to roll up the pancake. You then remove your fork and EAT!! Why you may ask must they be eaten this way? Beats me! hahaha…BUT if I want to avoid a lecture on thin pancakes I just humor the hubby and follow his directions. He is ok with me eating it with freezer jam instead of sugar, but I get a chuckle if I want syrup. Anyhow, the recipe was posted earlier so go make these!

Breakfast for dinner! Tonight I mixed up some batter and Jon cooked them. These lovely pancakes are NOT crepes as Jon will remind anyone who thinks they are…they are THIN PANCAKES (or Danish Pancakes). I’m not sure what the difference is between Danish Pancakes and crepes, but for some reason it offends the hubby so it will always be thin pancakes in our home. None of that really matters. What really matters is that you make these bad boys! They’re delicious! This recipe is from the Logan 15th Ward cookbook.

Danish Pancakes

4 eggs **for a healthier version you can use egg beaters

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp sugar

1 1/4 cup flour

2 cups milk **skim milk is fine

1/2 cup light cream **you can substitute fat free half&half

Place all ingredients in a large blender. Blend until combined. Then it’s best to have a crepe pan or crepe maker. We usually have a little melted butter that we brush on the pan. Then pour the batter onto the pan to cook. Don’t be alarmed…the batter is pretty then. When ready to serve you can spread with butter and top with sugar, jam, honey, etc.
