pannekoeken | sunday morning treat

Now that we are going to church on Sunday nights, we have a bit more time in the morning to have breakfast. It used to be that we would grab a granola bar or quick bowl of cereal and run out the door. Now, we can drink a cup of coffee and get ready for the day.

One of the best things about the Netherlands is Pannekoeken. It is like a large skinny pancake or larger crape (but thicker). The Dutch put just about anything on them, but I prefer the traditional sugar combination (powdered sugar and brown sugar with a hint of butter). Since I introduced Andy to them he has put his own spin on it (peanut butter and syrup).

Here is the recipe: Try it for yourself

1/3 c milk
1/4 c flour
1 egg

Whisk together in a small bowl. Heat griddle over the stove, and when hot pour batter (make sure that the batter covers the entire griddle). Flip when ready (should look the same as a regular pancake).

You can put anything on it. Sugars, fruit, syrup, ham, cheese, eggs... you name it.
Enjoy!
