Sunday Morning Pancakes
When I was growing up, our family had pancakes every single Sunday morning. Pancakes just naturally went along with the Sunday Comics at our house. The pancakes my mom made were large and flat, almost like crêpes. They were not your traditional dollar-sized or 6- to 8-inch diameter pancakes.
Today, as I carry on the tradition of having pancakes every Sunday with my own family, I vary the types of pancakes we eat. I'll even cook up waffles! Shh...don't tell my mom!
One of my favorite types of pancakes that I make these days is the puffy, oven-baked pancake, also known as a German pancake. It rises up the edges of the pie pan it's baked in, and presents itself as a pillow-y, light pancake.
Made from scratch, this pancake will not disappoint!
Golden Brown and Scrumptious!
