French Toast Pancakes

Tweet

I can see all of you out there going, “Huh? What is French toast pancakes? Do you make pancakes and then dip them in French toast mix?” I suppose you could try that. But that’s not what I do. Too much work. Too much frying. Anyone who has read my posts in the past knows I’m not afraid to experiment in the kitchen. French toast pancakes came out of one of these experiments. And it’s very simple to make. I do not mix it up from scratch, so to speak. In a way, I make it from leftover mix. A couple of days ago I decided I wanted French toast. This is how my French toast pancakes start. I mixed up the milk and eggs adding a touch of salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Then I dip bread into it and cook up my French toast. I mixed up too much of this French toast mix, which I accidentally do quite often. The leftover mix went into the refrigerator. I don’t like throwing food away. I usually end up making too much French toast mix. So a day or two later I’ll pull the mix out and put it in the pancake flour instead of the water or milk and eggs that the mix calls for. (If the mix calls for water it does not hurt to put this in instead of water.) If the pancake batter is too thick, I add water or milk. If the batter is too thin, I add more pancake flour. Then I cook the pancakes up the same as any pancakes. That’s how I make my French toast pancakes. Of course, you can always use your leftover French toast mix to make more French toast, but what fun is that? I usually don’t have enough leftover French toast mix to make more than one or two pieces of French toast. This is a good way to use it up without having to mix up more French toast mix. And it gives me something a bit different to eat. Do you like to experiment in the kitchen?
