Sarah and Henry (and if I'm being totally honest, myself) could eat pancakes everyday. When I don't feel like standing at the stove flipping pancakes while I am also pouring syrup, getting cups of milk, frying eggs and cleaning up spills, I make these: Pancake Squares. Simply make up the batter and stick it in the oven. The flavor is dead-on for regular pancakes although the texture is a little cake-like but I think Sarah likes them more. Justin doesn't think they can ever replace fried in bacon grease pancakes and he's right but it's nice to mix it up a little and give my griddle a break. If it's just me and the kids, an 8x8 pan is enough but if Justin's home, we double it for a 9x13 and bake for 27 minutes.
Pancake Squares
3/4 cup milk
2 T. melted butter
1 large egg
1 T. sugar
1 cup flour
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, beat together milk, butter and egg. Add sugar, then gradually beat the flour in. Carefully stir in the baking powder and salt. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serves 4-6.
