I am from the South and that is just like we cook cornbread in an iron skillet. I will pass on the salt and use bread flour. Good sounding recipe. May even mix in some berries.

I would replace milk with non dairy and eliminate salt. Dietitian comment: We are in the process of replacing nondairy creamer with milk or other acceptable milk substitutes. Most nondairy creamers contain phosphate additives these days.

Can this pancake be made with eggwhite only? It reminds me of the baked German apple pancake in my past. Sounds good.

I've been making this for at least thirty years and have never put salt into the recipe. Didn't even know there was a recipe. Just 1/4 milk-flour and 1 egg per person. Up to four. Then sprinkle with powder sugar and fruit. So good! I use a hot cast iron skillet.

irsatt, have you tried making your own rice milk? Check on line and you can find the recipe for making it. I make it all the time and use it in different things that call for milk. I can't have any milk products or calcium. I haven't tried the Super Simple Baked Pancake yet but looks delicious and easy to make.

I have looked for un-enriched Rice milk and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions? Dietitian comment: Look for the shelf-stable Rice Dream Classic original rice drink. It may not be available in the refrigerated dairy section.

please can you explain to what do mean by 1/2 meat 2 starch 1 fat do i have to eat them extra with breakfast? Dietitian comment: This is a meal planning system that identifies food groups for foods rather than counting the calories, protein and minerals. The dietitian can provide a meal plan to the patient with a guide for how many servings from each food group to eat at each meal and totals for the day. When using recipes the patient can count Food Choices instead of adding up numbers for protein grams and minerals of concern.

I was told by the dr that I should not have high protein or high potsddium foods This has both .What can replace it without making it tast bad ? Dietititan comment: You could choose from one of the other pancake recipes in the Breakfast & Brunch category that has a lower protein content. Low sodium, low potassium diets (generally 1500-2000 mg/day) allow 400-600 mg per meal and for low phosphorus (generally 800-1000 mg/day) 300-350 mg/meal for these minerals. Keep these numbers in mind when using our kidney friendly recipes to plan your meal.

I tried this recipe for the first time before I read the reviews today. How I wish I had read them before! The apple slices sound like a great addition. My husband and I both liked the pancake but it reminded us of French Toast. We both added Lingonberries and loved it

You should include phosphorus in your recipes and this one doesn't even give Potassium. Should substitute creamer for milk. Moderator response: Maybe you missed the nutrient box. Potassium is 157 mg and phosphorus is 135 mg for 1/4th recipe (made with milk). Both of these minerals will be slightly lower with milk substitute.

Easy and very good recipe for this German pancake. If you are in a hurry you can also do this on the stove top with an 8-10 inch omlette pan. The batter also keeps well for a few days. I leave out the salt and use non-dairy creamer.

Not sure how it happened, but my review was accidentally attributed to flowergamma. Here's my review, again: Excellent! A definite make-again. I followed Randolph's advice and added the caramelized cinnamon apples, which really added to the flavor (and nutrition). Next time, I'll cut down on the salt, or leave it out altogether; I don't think that would make much difference. Thanks for the recipe, Peggy!

This is one of my favorite breakfasts - to accompany it, I slice up an apple in a small skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon, and simmer, the juices tend to carmalize the apple and when the pancake is ready, I put the apples on it. A wonderful meal - thanks for the recipe.
