pancake tuesday...

mmmm mmm....

pancake tuesday!

our day of celebration

in preparation for the beginning of Lent

wouldn't be complete without

sharing a fave pancake recipe -

 my father was pancake master with this

and thankfully my son has carried on his talent!

it's a german pancake,

thin, with a softness that allows rolling,

which is exactly what we do

once sprinkled sugar has been added, 

liberally covering the top!

then the platter is popped back into the warm oven

while we wait to serve the completed pancakes !

1 3/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs

2 cups milk

combine flour and salt, add eggs and milk. 

whip with whisk until free of lumps,

and a thin batter.

heat your fave frying pan.

{  cast iron pan or low sided pans work well }

when hot, melt butter to coat,

then pour approx 1/4 cup batter into the pan

{ tilting the pan until a thin layer covers the bottom }.

cook on medium high until pancake is set.

flip and brown until golden underneath.

watch carefully so that these don't brown too quickly.

remove to plate,

sprinkle with icing sugar or fine berry sugar.

 rolled and kept warm in the oven,

then served with fruit, preserves, lemon juice or maple syrup.

prepare your fave pot of tea!

if you haven't decided as yet,

perhaps you're ready to reflect on what you might choose to remove

from your life distractions as we begin our Lenten journey...

what keeps you from developing deeper relationship

with God ?
 intentionally choose to use that extra time gained

to focus an undivided heart on your One True Love.

allow that focus to direct your meditation and reflection

throughout Lent.

 the growth is amazing,

as Holy Spirit trains us to hear His voice

above the call of distractions

and leads us in paths that follow God's heart.

may we be blessed as we journey together...
