MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

We call those Dutch Pancakes in our house. Mainly because I can't spell or pronounce proffertjies. (Thanks Lozzy, I wasn't game to try my hand at the spelling 'til you did. )

I had to browser-search the spelling. I first tried poffertjes in Holland!

 

[LozzyR]

So maybe they are the same thing.

Poffertjes aren’t really thin but they are really small. We’ve got a special pan to make them, they’re about an inch in diameter or slightly bigger.

Good morning folks

Indeed. Raining most of the day and just gotten heavier.

Just don't send it this way!

I never noticed the similar patterns in the feathers before. They are very pretty ladies!

They're very cute. I love them dearly.

 

[MaryJanet]

Such breathtaking patterns on your ladies, MJ! My girls seem so boring next to yours

Come on.

There's no such thing as a boring chicken.

You know I'm right on this.

Good morning Grammy I've a busy Friday today. Lots of meetings, very little actual work. How was you Thursday?

Mostly a lazy day we made a pot roast in the crock pot and finally made the Irish soda bread. Here's how it turned out it is very good.

It's raining again and windy, Bob says it got really cold.

Rose's Dutch Pancake Recipe

Please understand that my wife does not cook by recipe but by what works. This may be a little imprecise for some cooks out there. I asked her to clarify how you knew the pancake was not "wet". Her response was, "Look at it". I asked, "How long do you cook before adding the egg and ham on the breakfast pancake?" "A minute or so" was her response. So don't be upset if you have to play with cooking these a little until you get the hang of them.

You will need a 9 to 10 inch skillet
Heat oven to 425 degrees

Ingredients
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup milk
2 large eggs
