Noella's Pancake offers a fluffy, custard-like texture with a hint of saltiness, perfect for brunch or a comforting breakfast treat that appeals to all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the eggs, flour, salt, butter, and milk together.
- Pour the mixture into an 8-inch pie pan.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier pancake, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the mixture. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you prefer whole grain, swap half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra flavor, similar to Aunt Verlie'S Banana Bread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Noella's Pancake warm, topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup. It also pairs beautifully with Chicken Fingers With Honey Mustard for a fun brunch spread. Consider adding a side of bacon or sausage for a heartier meal, or enjoy it alongside a light salad for a balanced lunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pancakes in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30 seconds, but this may make them a bit softer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pancake ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before pouring it into the pie pan and baking. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to bake it fresh.
What can I use instead of eggs?
For a vegan alternative, you can use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water equals 1 egg) or applesauce (1/4 cup applesauce per egg). This will change the texture slightly but still results in a delicious pancake.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts for added flavor. Just fold them in gently after combining the wet and dry ingredients to avoid overmixing.
