Hootenanny..."what's that?"



This yummy creation is called "hootenanny". Many people might know this dish by the name German pancake. But if you are a Mangus, it is hootenanny. It is the most fun thing to pull out of the oven because of its crazy sides (and sometimes middle) that raise way way above the dish. It is a favorite breakfast at our house. Here is the recipe straight from Betty Crocker:
2 Tbs stick margarine or butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt margarine in pie plate in oven; brush margarine on side of pie plate.
Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl with wire whisk or hand beater. Beat in remaining ingredients just until mixed. Pour into pie plate.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until puffy and deep golden brown. Serve immediately sprinkled with lemon juice and powdered sugar (that is Betty's suggestion- we just pour maple syrup on ours...yum!)
In the photos above, the recipe was quadrupled and baked in a big cast iron skillet. We usually double or triple it to feed our family of 4. When you triple it, bake it in a 9x13 dish.
