MY MOM told me her mother-in-law showed her how to make this dish, which became popular during the Depression, on their "get acquainted" visit in 1927. At that time, cooks measured ingredients as pinches, dashes and dibs. But through the years, accurate amounts were noted. My wife and I continue to enjoy this dish today, particularly for brunch. -Auton Miller, Piney Flats, Tennessee

I did not like this recipe at all. The pancake is too dense for my taste and not sweet enough. I sprinkled chocolate chips on top to add a little more flavor and sweetness. I won't make it again.

I actually used 1 less egg in this recipe. With 3, it's a little too eggy for me. :)

I've been making my own redition of the above, using egg whites plus one egg. My guess is that egg beaters would work fine. I can hardly wait to try this recipe.
