Colonial Dutch Pancakes

The kids and I made homemae Colonial Dutch Pancakes for our unit study on Colonial America. We learned these very thin pancakes were served for breakfast or desert. Here is teh Recipe:



2 Eggs

2 Tablespoon Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 cups milk

cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling

butter for spreading



1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in half the milk and half the flour. Stir to combine. Stir in the rest of the milk and flour until the mixture is smooth and thin.



2. Heat a large nonstick fry pan (we used a griddle). Melt a half teaspoon of butter in the pan. Pour about 1/3 of the batter in pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly and thinly. Cook One minute or until the edges of the pancakse turn brown. Flip the pancake and cook for 30 more seconds. (we didn't do it quite that way, mine were much smaller.)



3. Stack the pancakes on a plate. When all pancakes are cooked, spread each pancake with a thin layer of butter. Sprinkle each pancake with cinnamon and sugar, roll them up and serve.



They were actually good. We did use syrup though :)
