I visited friends in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago and they made us Swiss Pancakes from their mother’s recipe book.  There is just something about a typed out recipe with food stains all over that draws me in!  🙂  They were delicious and used my favorite ingredient combination: lemon juice and powered sugar.  I’ve cooked them a few times at home and my favorite thing is how easy and forgiving they are.  My friend modified the recipe on the spot and I took a quick glance at the typed out recipe and wallah I had “memorized” it.

I tried making them at home and used what I had on hand: whole wheat flour and almond milk.  They turned out great and I realized that I could probably easily modify the recipe to make it gluten free as well as dairy free.
