This is a recipe that my mom has used for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure of the origin of the recipe but I do know that she’s had the recipe for almost 40 years and the recipe card is definitely well worn. It is similar to a recipe called Pannakuchen but this recipe doesn’t require the baking soda.
She made this for me many times as a child, most often with sauteed apple slices, lightly sweetened and plain yogurt. I have used it on a number of Christmas mornings and other holidays when you want a tasty but quick breakfast to get the morning going and to get the oven freed up for more important things, like hams and turkeys.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
- Add all ingredients to blender, except oil/butter. Blend.
- Add oil/butter to hot baking pan.
- Pour batter into hot baking dish.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until brown and puffed.
We prefer this served with fruit topping. Apple slices sauteed in butter with a bit of cinnamon is nice. Plain yogurt with it provides a nice balance. You can also use maple syrup, jam or whatever strikes your fancy.
Although, I know we used to use old Pyrex glass bakeware to make this, the thermal shock is potentially dangerous. Best to use a large cast iron pan or a metal baking pan, just to be safe.
