When we have pancakes, the house fills with smoke. Or, if I keep the heat lower so the pan doesn't smoke, the pancakes are raw in the middle. Or burnt on one side. And horribly misshapen. I can't flip a pancake to save my life!
I am not a Pancake Mom.
So yesterday when I asked my daughter a simple question, "What would you like for lunch?" and the answer was "Pancakes!" my heart filled with dread. Until I remembered my favorite oven pancake recipe. I asked my daughter if she'd like an oven pancake and was relieved when the answer was "yes!"
Phew! Dodged that bullet.
Honey Cloud Pancakes are, in a word: awesome. I don't normally like oven pancakes because they are too eggy. This one is still eggy but the fluffiness is wonderful! With the salty, buttery bottom and a drizzle of honey on top the egginess fades to the background. I believe the recipe has been altered by the blog author since I printed it, because I noticed that the recipe calls for 1 egg white and 1 whole egg, whereas I use two eggs. I'll keep my recipe the same, it works for me!
I do have to bake the pancake a few minutes longer than the recipe calls for (maybe it's that extra egg yolk?) I've made this recipe at least a half-dozen times. It's definitely a keeper!
There you have it! A pancake even a non-pancake mom can make. ;-)

That looks so yummy, I think Will would really like something like that! Maybe we should do an exchange, I'll teach you how to make delightful pancakes and you can teach me more about sewing or canning or any number of other things you do exceptionally well!
Let me know if you try it out. :)
I like your idea! Then maybe I can be a pancake mom after all. :D
