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

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

How many pancakes does this approx. make?
Tauna says
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.

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’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!
