Default My Italian "Pancake Recipe"

This is a recipe that my Italian grandmother used to make for my brothers and
sister and I when we were children. I continued the tradition by making these for my own children, and "her recipe lives on" as my middle son actually called for the directions on how to make them. :)


Pancake Ingredients:

* 355 ml (1 1/2 cups ) milk

* 355 ml (1 1/2 cups ) breadcrumbs (from leftover bread, stale is okay)

* 118.5 ml (1/2 cup ) flour

* 10 ml (2 teaspoons) baking powder

* 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) salt

* 1 egg, well beaten

* 30 ml ( 2 tablespoons) honey

* 15ml ( 1 tablespoon) butter, melted

Syrup

* 250 ml (1 cup) honey

* 118.5 ml (1/2 cup ) butter (melted)

*1 lemon (juice squeezed)


Pancake directions:

1. Heat milk and pour over crumbs, and let stand for 15 minutes.

2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt, and add to crumb mixture, along with egg, honey and melted butter.

3. Beat until well blended and free lumps, and drop by tablespoons onto a well-greased griddle, allowing one side to brown before turning.

4. Re-grease griddle before every batch.

5. Serve hot.

Syrup directions:

1. Warm honey.

2. Add melted butter, mixing it in completely with the honey.

3. Slowly drizzle the lemon juice in to the syrup (mix well while drizzling) and serve on top of the pancakes.
