This is a quick, no-fuss pancake to make. I am uncertain what meals Marjorie served them with and while I photographed them with syrup, they would work well with a savory meal.
Try these with the creamy cucumber soup or the Fordhook lima bean soup and you will be pleased.
It is a rustic bread that needs no jelly, jam, or syrup. It is just a nice addition to a meal. They are tender on the inside with a tiny crispy edge on the outside.
The batter is very thick and can be spread out as you place it on the skillet. Give these a try someday soon.
