"Our family enjoys these unique pancakes as often as possible," relates Kathi Duerr from Fulda, Minnesota. Loaded with sausage and apple, the filling flapjacks are especially yummy with the spiced cider syrup.

Pan-Sized Pancake

It’s time-consuming to fry a few pancakes, then try to keep them warm while the rest cook. Instead, I spread my batter in a lightly greased jelly roll pan and bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until puffed and golden. I cut it into squares and serve. (I use 3 cups of pancake mix for a 15-inch x 10-inch pan.) —TerryAnn M., Oaklyn, New Jersey
