Yesterday we had Ron, Lynne and the kids over for Dutch pancakes. One of those yummy things to make that just about everybody likes.
The leftovers are easily heated up the next day, that is so nice about it.
I have had this dream for a long time of opening a "Dutch Pancake House" here in Winnipeg. Nobody offered to put up the money, well that is not my loss, hahaha!
I can just see this place in my mind. Little small pane windows with red checkered curtains and table cloths. Small lanterns on the table and a few flowers and lots of plants hanging from the ceiling. In the corner a small stage to give new talents a chance to show off some nice music. Just a place where families and young people could get together. May be even a counseling room in the back. The food would be as inexpensive as possible as it is not supposed to be a money making venture.
It does not matter how poor you are there is always pancakes. Even the syrop you can make yourselves. Just buy the darkest brown sugar add some water and vanilla flavouring, heat up in the microwave.
Now you want to have my recipe? You can also go to the net and enter "Dutch pancakes". There are so many different versions . In Holland you can get them in restaurants in so many different ways.Just like you do do here when you order pizza.But mine are plain as follows:
For every adult person count on: 1 cup white flour, 1 cup milk, 1 egg, a bit salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp oil. Mix this with the mixer until you have a soft flowing texture, you may have to add some more water/milk. Heat up your pan on medium heat add a bit of butter/margarine. When you use a Teflon pan you need to only do that every 4th pancake or so. Now the amount of eggs are not carved in stone, you can use half the amount.
To that you can add, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or apples, or raisins, or bacon, whatever you like. We like them plain.
Use as little dough to cover the pan by tilting it. As soon as it start drying up around the edges, flip, one more minute and place on warming plate until you have used up the dough.
Now this can be eaten with, jam, brown sugar, pancake syrop, whipped topping and roll them up and enjoy!

Good idea Truus!
Call it: " Truus Pancake-house".
Also make it "gezellig" (cosy) with the yellow 'low lights' as we use to do in Holland. With a blue-blocked table-cloth, the same colour napkins. I will be your visitor, just for the delicious smell. Hmmmmm!!!! The water comes into my mouth, just thinking of pancakes.... Yummie!
You make the BEST dutch pancakes around! I loved them. Maybe a bit too much. I had them years ago when we went to Eric Boorman's house for supper. She made strawberry sauce and blueberry sauce. That was so good. I have some frozen berries that I want to use for that purpose but I don't know how to make fruit sauces. Do you?
Dunno Lynne , the internet will have a recipe for you I am sure
Glad you enjoyed it.
