This past Spring we won a Dutch Pancake Dinner at a silent auction for our son's school.  Last night we finally we able to arrange the dinner and have our pancakes cooked and get the real Dutch apple cake.

The cook is moving back to the Netherlands with her husband and family later this week.  She cooked us a batch of the pancakes with the Koop Maas mix from the Netherlands, which can be found on the Internet or in stores in the Netherlands.  These pancakes were slightly eggy and very much like crepes, but about 2 or 3 times the thickness of crepes.  We had them with apples and raisens, cheese, and bacon in them.  They were served and we could put powdered sugar and or syrup on them.  They were very good, to say the least.

She then made a second batch with Aunt Jamima mix and just thinned it down.  They were doughy and had large bubbles and were no where near as good.  We had them with the same items mixed in.

I am a big pancake fan, particularly thin eggy ones like my grandfather used to make (who was 100% Dutch, but missed being born there by not too long).  These pancakes last night took me right back to sitting at the counter in his house as he cooked the pancakes.  My son likes pancakes of any kind, but my wife was not a fan.  Well, she was not a fan until last night.
