Mexican Pancakes

May 4, 2009 at 5:20 pm | Posted in Brunch, Dinner | 7 Comments

Tuesday was a busy one at work and instead of making a chicken and rice meal, I decided to go real easy and make the Hall Family breakfast standby: Mexican Pancakes! So yes because these babies are so delicious and so easy I’m thinking I need to make breakfast for dinner more often!

So I’m thinking you might be confused as to the name of this dish- well my grandma is from Mexico and you may or may not know that many of the sweets of Mexico have a French origin- so these are basically thick and eggy crepes! And Abuelito calls them Mexican Pancakes so mexican pancakes they will be! See our family recipe below.

Makes enough for 3!
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
a couple tbsp of butter, room temp
more sugar for dusting

Directions:
Heat up nonstick pan to medium. Spray with a bit of vegetable oil. Pour enough batter to coat the pan and cook for about 1 minute. When almost done cooking, spread 1/2 tbsp of butter and 1/2 tbsp of sugar along the length of the pancake! Roll up and serve!
