Leker Pannekoeken!

YUMMY! Leker Pannekoeken translates to "I like Pancakes!" Dutch pancakes that is! Chris got back from serving his mission in the Brussels Belgium/Netherlands Mission in March and came to live with us in April- wahoo! One of our funnest summers ever. But anyways, he translated this recipe from dutch and made it for us and we LOVE it. Super yummy. They are thicker than crepes but thinner than pancakes and there's a lot of variation in what you can add to them... We've had them for dinner and for breakfast- the kiddos love putting their own creations together! I'll list out some ideas after the recipe...

(As you can see- they are good to the last drop! Mia ate her very first Pannekoeken in record time!)

Pannekoeken
300 ml milk (about 10 1/2 ounces!)
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
2-3 tsp butter melted
pinch of salt
1 1/4 cup flour
Mix all ingredients together well in a blender. If you are doing sweet Pannekoeken you can add 1 TBS. sugar. Heat pan, spray with Pam, and pour in batter. Cook just like pancakes!

You can do:
*Butter, cinnamon, syrup, and powdered sugar. (spray whip cream is always fun to add to this!)
*Fruit, powdered sugar, whip cream
*Bacon, cheese and salsa (american version of Pannekoeken! ;-) )
*Green peppers, ham, and cheese
*Ice cream, berries, powdered sugar, cinnamon, whip cream
*Scrambled Eggs/cheese/ham or bacon
*Whatever Savory/sweet concoction you can come up with... Chris what are some other authentic ways to serve them up??? I've forgotten...

The spray whip cream is half the excitement for the kiddos! It's a fun meal- a way to celebrate a different culture too! Do you have a favorite ethnic dish even the kiddos love? What's your favorite way to eat Pannekoeken!?!
