Real Holland Pancakes(Eierpannekoeken)
- 1 c. flour
- salt
- 2 large eggs or 3 medium (1/2 c. beaten)
- 1 c. milk
- at least 1/4 c. butter or margarine
- 1 loaf challah or other bread, cut in 3/4-inch slices
- 3 large eggs
- 1 c. milk
- 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp. orange flower water (optional)
- small pinch of sea salt
- unsalted butter for sauteing (as needed)
- additional honey (for topping)
- Slice bread an hour or two before you make the French toast, if you can, so that it will dry out.
- Put oven on low (unless intending to serve as soon as cooked).
- Beat eggs with milk and stir in vanilla, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional orange flower water and salt.
- Heat butter in a large, heavy frying pan over low heat.
- Dip bread slices into batter on both sides.
- They should be saturated but not so soggy that they will fall apart.
- Place in frying pan and continue dipping slices and adding them to pan (but don't overcrowd the pan).
- Saute slowly, until the first side turns golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Then turn and saute on the other side until golden brown.
- Place in oven on a baking sheet to keep warm if you aren't serving at once.
- Serve with honey.
