Cooking with children requires patience and a deep tolerance for mess. It rewards magic tricks — true transformation of ingredients into something delicious. This recipe delivers, and how, with a pancake that puffs up beautifully as it cooks. You can top as suggested with warm applesauce, jam or maple syrup, or try fresh fruit and whipped cream instead. It’s a child-friendly recipe that will last for decades. —Trish Hall

This is the same recipe as for Yorkshire pudding.
When made as breakfast The kids like to have blueberries in the mix. Cooks up real nice. This has become the new standard for sleep overs.

This is also very similar to a "Dutch Baby". Try squeezing a lemon and sprinkle powdered sugar! Wonderful.

I like to add an extra tablespoon of butter, lemon zest and a dash of vanilla into the batter. It’s perfect

This recipe is perfection! I wish they had a way to insert pictures. The rise on my skillet was AMAZING! It looks like it takes so much skill when really it’s just whisk and pour! VOILA! I top mine with butter, powdered sugar, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
