Whether

and cream, pancakes make for a hearty
breakfast! Your choice toppings are

recipes to help get you started.
German Oven Pancakes
1/2
cup flour
3/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup skim milk
5 tsp. margarine, melted
2 cups sliced fruit
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar (or less)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Gradually
add flour to egg substitute, beating well.
Stir in milk and melted margarine. Lightly
oil or spray with non stick spray a 9" or
10" ovenproof skillet. (Round cake pan
works well.) Pour batter into pan or
skillet. Bake for 20 minutes. (Pancake
will form a well in the center and sides
will puff up.) Spoon fruit into center of
the pancake. Loosen pancake from pan with
wide spatula and cut into wedges with
sharp knife. Serve immediately with
powdered sugar and lemon wedges.
In a saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons
sugar, cornstarch and 3/4 cup orange
juice; stir until smooth. Bring to a boil;
cook and stir for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat; cool to
lukewarm.
Meanwhile, combine Bisquick and remaining
sugar in a bowl. Beat the eggs, milk and
remaining orange juice; stir into dry
ingredients just until moistened. Pour the
batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly
greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles
form on top of pancakes. Cook until second
side is golden brown. Serve with the
orange sauce.
Sour Cream Pancakes
2 cups Bisquick
1 egg
1 cup water
2/3 cup sour cream
Mix all ingredients. Spoon batter onto hot
griddle. Grease griddle, if necessary.
Turn pancakes when bubbles appear and
edges begin to dry.
Separate eggs and add sour cream, apple,
flour, baking powder and cinnamon to the
yolks, stirring well. Beat egg whites
until peaks form, and fold into yolk
mixture. Cook on hot, lightly greased
griddle until golden brown. Delicious
served with a dollop of sour cream and
maple syrup.
Makes about 12.
Almond-Lemon
Puffed Pancake
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. almond extract
6 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly beat
eggs and combine with next 6 ingredients.
Leave batter slightly lumpy. Melt 4
tablespoons butter in a medium skillet
with heat-proof handle. When butter is
very hot, pour in batter. Bake for 15
minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar; return to
oven for 1 minute. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle almonds over pancake. Melt
remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Drizzle
butter and lemon juice over pancake. Serve
immediately. Serves 4.
Use a heavy skillet. Do not preheat. Place
sausage links in cold skillet, turn heat
to low and cook, turning links several
times. Turn heat to medium and continue
cooking links until they are thoroughly
cooked and brown. Drain and keep links
warm.
To prepare pancakes, combine pancake mix,
egg and milk. Blend until smooth, adding a
bit more milk if necessary to make a thin
batter. Add in the melted margarine,
grated apples and cinnamon; blend
well.
Using a heavy griddle, preheat; with a
paper towel rub a tiny bit of oil onto hot
griddle. Pour batter, making 4-inch
circles. Cook until bubbles appear and
bottom is slightly browned when edge is
lifted. Turn pancakes over and cook on
other side until browned.
Roll one sausage link in each pancake,
place seam side down on serving plate.
Serve immediately with maple syrup, or use
a topping of applesauce and sour
cream.
