Handed down from Annie Kleerup, Margie’s great-grandmother, who made them over an open fire at family picnics.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c flour
- 1 c milk
- 3/4 Tab salt
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cube butter
Directions:
- Ask Dad.
And Dad says:
- Melt the butter in 12 inch frying pan.
- Let it cool.
- Mix egg and milk with electric beater. Do not over beat.
- Put flour, sugar, salt in sifter.
- Sift into egg/milk mixture a little at a time while beating with mixer.
- Add melted butter.
- Squeegee the pan with a rubber scraper.
- Heat the pan.
- Ladle 1/3 of the mixture into pan.
- Tilt the pan so the mixture goes all the way to the edge to form a full pancake.
- Cook until slightly brown.
- Run a metal spatula around the edge and under the edge of the pancake.
- With the spatula all the way under the pancake, flip it (without breaking it.)
- When slightly browned, fold into quarters and serve.
- Serve with your choice: Butter/sugar, fresh strawberries, peanut butter, syrup, etc.
Serves: Makes 3 using a 12 inch pan.
