FLUFFY PANCAKES

I have mentioned before that we often enjoy pancakes and waffles for dinner. In fact, I rarely ever make them for breakfast. Probably because my husband is a creature of habit when it comes to what he eats for breakfast - cereal mixed with yogurt. 

I have shared several pancake and waffle recipes, but I always seem to find another one that sounds good when I feel like making them for dinner. The word "fluffy", I imagine, is what caught my eye with this recipe I found in my Dutch Country Cooking cookbook. While most are attributed to someone, this recipe wasn't. The 1976 cookbook says it contains recipes compiled from Dutch Country Kitchens and was published by Swiss Country Enterprises, Inc in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

The pancakes were not heavy tasting at all and the recipe made quite a few pancakes. We just warmed them up and ate them the next day.
