Here is our recipe for Jelly Roll Pancakes which is very dependent upon your desire to use your hands vs. measures to bake or cook! Make sure to put on aprons on you and your kiddle.

Heat griddle or fry pan to med. high heat. Pan is ready when drops of water "ball" on the pan.

In a bowl mix:

2 eggs
A good splash of milk
Two dashes of salt
A big pinch of sugar
1/2 cap of pure vanilla extract

Whip it up well until airy.

Add in 2 fistfuls of flour. Stir. The consistency needs to be thicker than liquid, but not as thick as regular pancakes...so kind of like melted chocolate. When you ladle it out, it should flow easily into the pan and spread quickly into a circle. If the mix is too thick, add water by the Tbsp-full until it thins out. If too thin, add small amounts of flour (a Tbsp at a time) until it thickens.

Put a pat of butter in the pan and ladle about 6 tbsp-worth right in the middle of the pan. Let is brown on one side, flip to the other, let it brown and take out.

When your crepe is on the plate, put whatever filling you'd like along one half of the pancake and then roll it up and Presto! You have a rolled pancake.

Some of our faves:
White and milk chocolate chips
Nutella with strawberries
Peanut butter with thin apple slices
CoolWhip and anything!
Berry bonanza (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries)
