Yellow Pancakes

I must admit breakfast is not my favorite meal. I just don’t like eating in the morning.

But on those mornings when I find Tessa down in the kitchen mixing up a batch of yellow pancakes - I always eat. Tessa is the official “yellow pancake” maker at our house. Tessa is like her dad and enjoys a good breakfast. So like her dad, she has learned to make her own breakfast.

A yellow pancake is a thin pancake that is eggier (I don’t think that is really a word) than a normal pancake. It is more like a German pancake - just a thinner version. I think I originally found the recipe in The Oregonian. We have been making them for years at our house.

Even though I don’t like breakfast in the morning, I do like “breakfast for dinner” and yellow pancakes make a great dinner. We love to eat them with lemon juice and powdered sugar and if we have some fresh berries to add - even the better!

The recipe is for a single serving but a single serving makes about 2 yellow pancakes depending on the size of your pan. I use a small frying pan. It is easy to double or triple!

Yellow Pancake

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla

2 Tbsp flour

1 tsp melted butter

Powdered sugar and lemon juice

In a bowl whisk the egg. Add the milk, vanilla, flour and melted butter. Spray a small frying pan with nonstick spray and place over medium heat. When the pan is heated, pour enough batter into pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook until set and no longer runny. Watch carefully not to burn. Turn pancake over and cook 1 minute. Serve with lemon juice and powdered sugar.

We’ll be trying this one for dinner on Friday. It’s become my newest way to a) save a little $$ & b) keep things simple at the end of week - doing pancakes / waffles & breakfast meat for dinner on Friday’s. These look scrumptious!

I’ve made lemon pancakes and then sprinkled them
with fresh or frozen blueberries after I have ladled them ontothe griddle. Lemon pancakes are wonderful. I am going to try it with the lemon juice instead of lemon flavoring as in your recipe. They look great!!!!

We just made applesauce pancakes with apple cider sauce for dinner a couple nights ago. We had some apple cider left over from Halloween, so we thought we’d try this recipe from my sister, Amy. It was a huge hit. They are very moist. I like having breakfast for dinner once in a while because most mornings we are in such a hurry that all we have time for is cold cereal.

How many pancakes does this approx. make?

It makes about 2 sometimes 3 depending on how thick you make them and how big your pan is. Enjoy!

I tried this recipe today and it is DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing so many wonderful things on here!!!

Thanks. . . .This looks yummy. I’ve printed off and will do with the grandchildren the next time we are together!!!!!!

Yum! We love pancakes in our house so I’m going to print out your recipe.

I’m stopping by to let you know that I’m hosting the “Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style” recipe exchange again this year, coming up this Friday. I hope you can join me and if you’re willing to help me spread the news, I’m offering a giveaway as well!

OK Tauna and LuAnne - you need to share your recipes!! Lemon pancakes and applesauce pancakes sound wonderful! I want the recipe!!!!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM as always, my appetite’s attention is awakened

LeighAnne, These are great. I made them yesterday right after I read the blog. The only think I did different was used whole wheat flour (I’ve cut white flour out of our house)… I have a small pan and I made 1 pancake, it was perfect…

Oh my boys are going to love this! We make German pancakes but I don’t like them thick so these will be perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Leigh Anne, we tried them and it was a hit! Both kids gave them a thumbs up and said they’d love to have them again! Love how quick and easy they are!

PS ~ I’d be interested in the recipes for lemon and applesauce pancakes, too!

I made these for breakfast this morning. Amazing! They reminded me of pop-overs, with out all the time and effort.
I think I’ve just found our new General Conference breakfast!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
