This is a great, inexpensive breakfast that can also double as a lovely dessert. It is super easy, looks very impressive, takes only a few hands-on minutes (way less than flipping pancakes). If I am making this for breakfast, then I always make sure to serve a piece of cheese or other protein before or after to increase the protein content of the meal.
It is also a really easy recipe to remember as the pancake portion is 1 part flour, 2 parts egg, 1 part milk. Then just add a dash of salt.
