Puffy Maine Pancakes
1:43 AMFor breakfast (or more accurately, brunch since we slept in) I wanted to do something other than cereal. Looking at my "to try" list for pancakes, this "puffy" pancake recipe caught my eye. I found it in The Best American Recipes: 2000 cookbook, and the title itself promises the best of the best. This was super easy to make, and actually would be a great hot breakfast if you are in a rush in the morning since the batter can be prepared the night before, and most of the cooking is done in the oven. This was more egg-y than pancake-y, and I don't think my kids got past that idea since they were expecting traditional pancakes. They said they didn't care for it, but I think if they gave it a shot they really would enjoy it. I was a wee bit disappointed that my "puffy" pancake didn't stay puffy because I thought it looked really cool all fluffy coming out of the oven, but it pretty much immediately deflated. Other than that - I enjoyed this dish. I think I will sneak it to my kids again sometime during the school year, if i can remember to prepare the batter the night before. I bet the kiddos will like it next time :)
