YAAPS again, from Kerry this time.

Oven Pancakes (aka Dutch Pancakes or Pannekoeken)…”

2 Tbsp stick margarine or butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt

Heat oven to 400. Melt margarine in 8″ or 9″ pie plate in oven. Brush margarine on sides of pie plate.

Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl. Beat in remaining ingredients until just mixed and the big lumps are gone. Pour into pie plate. Bake 25-30 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Tip upside down onto a plate and serve immediately. One way of serving it is with lemon juice and powdered sugar, which makes a light glaze. Another way is with berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, any berry is good) and a sauce that you make wiht sour cream and brown sugar. About a cup of sour cream to about 1/4-1/3 cup brown sugar. Mix well. It’s EXCELLENT with the sour cream sauce and strawberries. That’s how I usually serve it.

Another variation is the baked apple pannekoeken:

Prepare as directed, except sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon evenly over the melted margarine in the pie plate. Arrange enough thinly siced apples (Granny Smith or another tart baking apple is best) over the sugar to completely cover the bottom of the pie plate. Pour batter over the apple. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. IMMEDIATELY turn over onto a serving plate. The apple pannekoeken is really good with maple or cinnamon syrup.

My comments: Definitely a favorite around here. Easy to make, and worth the baking time.
