There's nothing quite like a puff pancake and if you haven't had them before there's no better time!
They're super easy and delicious!

Sliced puff pancake with raspberries
My little guy.. Sorry big guy as he would like to be referred to turned 6 on Saturday. So he was able to choose breakfast. Puff pancakes it was, not that I didn't have a good idea what he would request. These babies are already in the Que for Father's day,my husband has made that clear but I will dress them up with a berry compote or a sauteed apple mixture with cinnamon. When I was a kid I ate these almost every day for a year. My Granny would have made anything I wanted and this was my choice. They are so good! I would even go over to my Grandma Lorna's house and convince her to make them, she added the hot berry compote, so delicious. Well worth a special occasion treat!

  17. Wow, take out the vanilla and powdered sugar and this is a yorkshire pudding, to eat with roast beef! Add some salt and pepper to the mix and it's perfect. It's just the best thing for soaking up the gravy.

    1. Yes whole wheat pastry flour does work just as well as all-purpose.

  22. What do these taste like compared to crepes or pancakes? Looks good but I've never heard of them. Nice blog BTW.

    1. Hmm.. The closest thing to these are popovers in taste and texture. They are thicker then crepes and really don't resemble the taste or texture of pancakes at all..
      Thanks for the wonderful comment!
