Here are four ways to make meals in minutes!

This mix makes both (1) German Pancakes and (2) Pannekoeken. One mix can make 9 very scrumptious meals. All you do is add syrup.

You can also use this mix to make (3) Toads in a Hole, a British dish, and (4) mini pannekoeken. Directions for all four follow.  

 

1. How to Make Pannekoeken

Pannekoeken makes a fabulous breakfast, a stunning breakfast in about 15 minutes. Instead of standing over the griddle, you stick it in the oven until the timer goes off. 

When it comes out of the oven, it grabs everyone's attention.  It rises up in the oven eight or ten inches above the lip of the pan--like magic. Here's an image of pannekoeken in the oven.

And this is what a pannekoeken looks like out of the oven:

For pannekoeken, you can fill them with fruit or fixings for dinner, but most people simply add syrup and eat them like pancakes. 

Your family will love what you do!

    2. Making luscious German pancakes! 

    A German pancake is cooked in a rectangular pan. Without a circular top and sloping sidewalls, it crashes, tumbles, and folds.

    In some regions, it is known as a German Pancake, while in others, the names are interchangeable. It's fun and scrumptious. It can be cooked with berries, apple slices, peaches, and pineapple, and usually dribbled with syrup.

    What Else Can You Make With this Mix?

     

    3. Toads in a Hole

    Toads in a hole

    Toads in a Hole made sausages and eggs.

    In Great Britain, loaded with meat, these are called "Toads in a Hole." The batter is the same but loaded with sausage, eggs, hot dogs, ham, and such.  The principle is the same.

    For me, toads seem like breakfast food, though they also make easy lunches or dinners. The hot dog toads here are drizzled with maple syrup. But you can pour white sauce or gravy on top, and you have a full meal. You can make them in any size, from a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to a jumbo muffin pan. Just crank up the creativity.  We tried apples, bacon, cheese, and scrambled eggs along our way.

    Use the same ratio of ingredients, mix, eggs, and milk. You can scale it up for more servings.

    Use any smooth pan for toads in a hole. We're kind of stuck on three pans: a 9 x 13-inch glass pan you can see here, a similar 8 x 8-inch pan, and a jumbo muffin pan. But you don't have to stick with these. Just balance the amount of batter to the size of the pan. Leave plenty of room (at least 50%) for the batter to climb up the side walls. 

    The higher the batter climbs, the thinner the crust and the quicker it bakes. Eight to ten minutes is normal. Keep baking until the crust starts to brown.


    4. The Mini Pannekoeken

    Mini Pannies, pannekoeken, work for breakfast, lunch, or even dessert. The first is lunch--steamed veggies with a white sauce.

    This is dessert--a couple of scoops of ice cream, with a sliced peach and pecans slipped in.  The mini pannie acts like an ice cream cone. It's delightful.
