Pancakes, Waffles:
All-Day Foods

PHYLLIS STEINBERG SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

p

ancakes and waffles are
among the most satisfying
and comforting foods to
eat and the easiest to pre-

pare.
Made with the simplest ingre-
dients—flour, eggs, and milk—
they take easily to sweet or
savory and to any part of a meal
from breakfast to dessert.
Proving the point that waffles
and pancakes can be served for
breakfa§t, lunch or dinner, cook-
book aufhor Elizabeth Alston pro-
vides several recipes for every
meal in her new book, you
guessed it, Pancakes and Waffles
published by Harper Collins.
Ms. Alston makes it tempt-
ingly clear that these easy and
delicious treats are versatile
enough to be served in a variety
of ways anytime of the day with
any meal.
Try an Old-Fashioned Oak
Waffle for breakfast, a Black
Bean-Stuffed Crepe
with Fresh Tomato
Salsa and Sour
Cream for Lunch, and
a Melting Lemon Pan-
cake for dessert.
,:.
Ms. Alston also in-
cludes helpful hints for making
pancakes, crepes and waffles.
For example, she suggests that
making perfect pancakes re-
quires a heavy skillet. She rec-
ommends one with plenty of
bottom area (9 or 10 inches min-
imum) so several pancakes can
be cooked at one time.
Many pancakes are a perfect
size when made with three ta-
blespoons of batter. It is not nec-
essary to measure three separate
tablespoons of batter each time.
Instead, use a one-forth cup mea-
sure (four tablespoons) and fill it
three quarters full (three table-
spoons).
There is also a special section
in the book on sauces, syrups and
toppings that put the finishing
touch on the recipes.
Following are some interest-
ing recipes from the book which
can be prepared in accordance
with the Jewish dietary laws.

SUPER-SIMPLE BAKED
PANCAKE

Makes 1 large pancake,
enough for 2 to 4 portions

2 large eggs
1J2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Few grains of ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon mild olive or
vegetable oil (olive oil tastes
best here)

An ovenproof skillet 9 to 10
inches across the bottom, or a 9-
inch glass or metal pie pan, or an
11 x 7-inch baking dish.
Heat the oven to 450° F.

Food processor or blender
method: Process the eggs, milk,
flour, salt, and nutmeg to make
a smooth batter.
By hand: Put the eggs and
milk into a medium-size bowl.
Beat with a wire whisk or elec-
tric mixer to blend well. Beat in
the flour, salt, and nutmeg. If
tiny lumps of flour remain visi-
ble, it's no problem.
Heat the oil in the skillet, pie
pan, or baking dish in the oven
for 5 minutes. When very hot,
pour in the batter.
Bake uncovered 18 to 20 min-
utes without opening the oven
door, until the pancake is puffed
and crisp around the edges and
golden brown in the middle. Cut
in wedges to serve.
