Yellow Pancakes are a favorite breakfast at our house and will be at your house too!

Yellow Pancake

This is a Wilkes Family Favorite recipe that we have been making for years.  Tessa was always the yellow pancake maker at our house and now that she no longer lives at home Jim has taken over the job.  We often enjoy these on Sunday mornings before church thanks to Jim.

Below is the original post which was posted in November, 2008.  Photos have been updated.

Yellow Pancake

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.

Yellow Pancake

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.

Even though I don’t like breakfast in the morning, I do like “breakfast for dinner” and yellow pancakes make a great dinner.

Yellow Pancake

We love to eat them with lemon juice and powdered sugar and if we have some fresh berries to add – even the better!

Yellow Pancake

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!

    Are these similar to crepes? Also, I have those same dishes! My step mom from Denmark bought them for us when we got married…They look very similar to the Royal Copenhagen bone China.

    Wow they all sound so good. I would also love the lemon and a pleasure recipes too if possible. I know my grandkids would love them.

      We call them that because they are yellow in color

    These look a lot like the Swedish pancake recipe we use – it’s almost a thick crepe. Our recipe is even better when it sits overnight in the fridge (you just blend it again in the morning) … but we rarely think of doing it ahead of time.

    We hardly ever do “breakfast” for breakfast. First thing in the morning is for fast meals. True breakfasts are either brunch (i.e. after church on Sundays, late Saturday mornings) – or for dinner. Then it can be more elaborate and relaxed.

    We made these this morning! I made them super big, crepes and rolled with strawberries and bananas. Thanks again for being my go-to website for recipes.
