I tried this recipe because it sounded like something my dad used to make (we named his recipe Ed Schmidtt pancakes after the man who showed it to my dad). However, Ed's recipe had no eggs, and I must say that after growing up without them, I prefer this recipe that way. I also tried making it with only one egg, and I think that is the way I will make it from now on. We always serve ours with powdered sugar and lemon juice. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!

This is a good one! My son loves when I made this for a quick and easy supper. It comes together before the oven even preheats. It's simple, cheap, & good! I use spelt flour in place of the all-purpose flour & only use 3T. butter. We serve it with pure maple syrup. Delicious!!!

After reading all the talk about these "pancakes" not turning out right, when in fact that's how they were supposed to be, I had to give them a try. But, I had the advantage of knowing that is how they should be. It was so much fun to watch! The cake rose so high in the oven and then as soon as I took it out, it collapsed in the middle. The crunchy sides stood higher than the middle, which was almost completely flat. I served mine with maple syrup and a sqeeze of lime and it was wonderful. I will be fixing these again because I am imagining the sunken center being filled with berries and then sprinkled with powdered sugar for a beautiful brunch!

This is my breakfast of choice in one of my favorite resturants!I usually have to drive 45 minutes for one of these, but no more. It is served with fresh strawberies ,blueberries, bananas, strawberry syrup and whipped cream in one version. The other is served with veggies and cheese filling the center and a little sour cream on the side. I never thought that it would be so easy to make. I had mine with fresh strawberies and alittle strawberry jam. Fantasic!!!
