A new breakfast treat

I found a new (small) series of books set in Northern Minnesota.  The series is about a small town minister who solves mysteries.  He also loves to cook and has provided us with a yummy new breakfast recipe.  Of course, we set off the smoke detector, because the pan overflowed, so if you make this, I'd recommend a pan under your pan.  

Here's the writer's quote that intrigued me enough to try the recipe, "Next, I broke three eggs into a bowl, and beat them with a cup and a half of milk before adding the same measurement of flour. A small handful of sugar, some salt and vanilla followed, and, voila, I had batter for pannekoeken." (Tom Hilpert (2013-11-11). Superior Justice (Lake Superior Mysteries) (p. 124). Spring Creek. Kindle Edition.) and here's the recipe from the back of the book.

Pannekoeken:  A great recipe to feed guests for breakfast.  It leaves you time to visit while it bakes.  It can be easily doubled or tripled.

Put 1/4 C butter in a small baking dish or pie plate.  Put in oven and turn oven on to 400 degrees.  While the oven pre-heats the butter will melt.

While the butter is melting, mix together:

1 1/2 C flour

1/2 tsp salt

handful of sugar

1 1/2 C milk

3-4 eggs (we used 3)

dash vanilla.

Pour the mixture into the pan with the butter.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.  It will puff up as it bakes.  Serve with maple syrup or fruit and whipped cream, or lemon juice and powdered sugar.
