I'm not sure who gave us the recipe, but it is something that my family cherishes. The original recipe was written on a sheet of pink paper, and has the requisite cooking stains and marks of a well-worn, but much-loved recipe. It's very simple to prepare, but delicious. Just measure, mix, and pour. No standing over a hot stove flipping pancakes, or wrangling out your waffle iron from the back of the cabinet.
Serve it piping hot, spooned into bowls, with a dollop of milk poured over it, and a steaming hot cup of coffee beside. You don't need anything else in life. Try this on Saturday. You'll thank me. And my mom. And whoever gave my mom the recipe.
NOTE: This is not a low points recipe, and I don't apologize for that. It's a comforting splurge for a day when you've saved up some points. However, I may just play around with the recipe and post a lighter version at a later time. I'll keep you posted.

Kel - I have been looking for this recipe for YEARS!!! I have asked my mom for it but never seem to get it. It must have come from Fairview somewhere. Thanks for sharing...I think I will try it for breakfast tomorrow...I remember LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly ~ I think we were at a church retreat in the Poconos when this was served at breakfast. You're right, it was a big hit!
ReplyDeleteUntil I figure out URL, I'll have to send this anonymously, but it's Ginny Jackson, fyi. Barb sent me your link :) We continue to try to eat better and she's winning.
