I woke up way too early this cold and foggy Saturday morning. I had a home visit in Lewiston at 9am. Needless to say I was late because I couldn’t see the turn off this morning because it was so foggy. So I actually crossed state lines into Idaho before I could see well enough to turn myself around. When I got to my appointment I had to wait for awhile because Reyna (She works with me and was going to translate) wasn’t there yet. I figured it was because of the weather. Anyhow, I think it was about 9:15 when I decided I would just go ahead and go to the appointment by myself because Reyna hadn’t shown up yet and I didn’t want to ditch the appointment. When I knocked on the door the mother was so kind. She and I had a hard time understanding each other, but we were both patient and before we knew it Reyna showed up. We were both very glad…especially because I think we both miss understood eachother a few times. I really need to learn spanish.
Anyhow, when I got home I was hungry and decided to make one of Jon’s favorite breakfasts…Pop Cake! Most people know these as German Pancakes. However, in our home Jon refuses to call them that. So here’s the recipe with a few pics! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1/4 stick of butter
- 6 eggs
- 1 c. flour
- 1 c. milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
Turn oven on to 425 degrees F. Place 1/4 stick of butter in 9×13 baking dish and place in the oven to melt the butter. While the butter is melting start mixing the batter. Mix eggs in a large bowl. Add flour, milk and salt. Mix to combine (some people like to use a blender to make it smooth…I’m too lazy so I just use my egg beater). Pull the pan from out of the oven and pour the batter into it. Place back in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Don’t forget oven times vary. It puffs up pretty big too! So make sure the top rack isn’t too close to the bottom rack.
We never wait to cool off. It tastes better hot. Top them off with butter, sugar, jam, honey or syrup.
