When I think of pancakes, I think of my grandmother, Nellie. She was a wonderful grandmother. We stayed with her and my grandfather often as children and she was famous for her pancakes. They are not your typical thick, fluffy ones, but more like crepes. I make them for my children and think of her and my grandfather fondly whenever I do. I can still picture the two of them in their tiny little kitchen feeding us with smiles like there was no place on earth they'd rather have been. Makes me miss them both.
Nell's Famous Pancakes
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
dash of salt
1 tsp of sugar
Whisk all ingredients together. (Batter is very soupy). Heat vegetable oil until hot before pouring batter into pan. Makes enough for three hungry children. When I make them for all of us (5), I double the recipe. Serve with warmed maple syrup & fresh berries!
Hope you all enjoy this beautiful Fall day.
Thank you to all our Veterans for serving our Country so bravely.
God Bless.

Yum! Can you bring some of those over to my house Susan?! I'm often to lazy, I mean sleepy, to make a very exciting breakfast :) Hope you are having a nice week!

Looks good! Pancakes tend to be a dinner thing at our house, yet mine never turn out. They especially never look like yours!

Reminds me of the rye pancakes I used to make my girls when they were small. I will have to try them :)
