Here’s our breakfast this morning, puffed oven pancake. It’s Cate’s new favorite breakfast food. I think they’re pretty good, but honestly, the best part is how EASY they are to make. I’m glad Cate is so easily pleased…at least for now. Knowing how 5-year-olds are about food, she’ll hate them tomorrow. 😉

Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
I love puffed oven pancakes. I should make them more often–and if they don’t take 45 minutes to eat, then it would be a faster Sunday morning breakfast than cold cereal! Our current Sunday schedule isn’t really working for us.

Monday–Pork Loin, hot dogs (for the kids), side dishes supplied by friends
Tuesday–Black Bean Couscous salad
Wednesday–Grilled Cheese

breakfast for dinner
I grew up with this puffed pancake as a special breakfast treat. We had it just a few times a year and how I loved it! We called them German Pancakes, only because that is what they were named in the “Osterizer” cookbook my mother had. It may sound strange, but we served them with lemon juice and powdered sugar. Very tasty!

I have a backlog going on my Google reader and just read this today … it put a huge smile on my face. I was searching for oven puffed pancakes when I first found your blog a few years ago. I made them that weekend and have been reading TWFD ever since! 🙂
you were the one, hillary? how fun! I actually remember that and thought about it when I wrote this post 🙂
