Newly acquired Krumkake iron

Nice little collection you have going there, Ken.

Does Peggy know about the dutch oven, or is that her Mother's Day gift?

That's a beaut! I may have to get a few trivets to keep the iron from burning the countertops. Thanks Jenn.

Jenn,

Your Swedish pancakes sound good, but what I'm looking for is a recipe for pancake like the ones Jim had at that Pioneer Cafe in
Zion. Got something like that?

Sue, those look like they could be made in a very LARGE skillet!

Our friends cabin has an electric stove and I can't seem to get the hang of it - I know some people love using electric, but I'm not one of them.
 
Jenn,

As to those pancakes in Zion: Yeah, we attracted quite a crowd of tourists when you girls tried to bounce me off the curb and into the truck. I'm still trying to lose those extra pounds I packed on that day...

Can we go back and get some more?

Jim, These sound like a good alternative until you can get back to Zion:

GERMAN PANCAKES (DUTCH BABIES) BY: ALAN DYE
(use 2 #5 skillets, or 1 #8)

Put a thin layer of oil in the bottom of the skillets (about 2 t per skillet)

Put skillets in cold oven, and turn oven on to 450 degrees. Skillets will heat with oven. While oven heats:

Sift 1/2 C flour and 1/2 t salt onto a small plate.

In a bowl, whisk together:

3 eggs, (at room temperature)
1/2 C milk

Add flour/salt mixture to milk/egg mixture. Whisk until smooth.

add 2 T melted butter to the batter. Whisk until blended.

(yields ~2 C of very liquid batter)

When skillets/oven are heated, put 1/2 of batter in each #5 skillet. Close oven, bake 15 minutes. They look almost like a large pop-over and are delicious.

Serve with butter/preserves/syrup, etc...
 
you've got a dutch baby there Ken. The dutch oven cooks of our camping group were going to do a dutch baby potluck breakfast at one of our camps, but all the "cooks" had to back out, ne do to a nieces wedding.
 
Hi George,
I just did a first coat with beeswax on a skillet. It appears to be much more of a black color than a brown color like the Crisco seasoned pans. Is that normal? The beeswax smelled like honey when I put it on the skillet!

Yes, it will be very black & shiny. And the smell of honey is one of the pluses of using beeswax. Love that smell!

If you put a few more coats on it, you can have fun cooking an egg in it & watching it slide around the pan...George taught me that one. :cool:
 
Charlie,
If this is seasoning a raw iron, no less than 3 times. If you are"reseasoning", then depending on how bad a shape your current seasoning is once or twice. Like Betsey, I like the smell of the honey, so I try to do at least one of my pans or pots or what ever often. LOL (my wife isn't so inclined to the aroma of hot honey?????). LOL
 
Sue,
You may have tried to season with too thick of a coat. If you are baking at the lower end of temp band, bump it up a bit and try a little longer.

George,

On the second coat of beeswax. Is the finish supposed to be shiny or flat, because mine is flat.

Sue,

Are you sure you have 100% pure beeswax? The stuff you buy in stores is often for crafts & may have other things added to it. I have a friend who has an apiary, so I buy all mine from her...great stuff, it's clean, pure & reasonable in price. Last year, I took orders from anyone who was coming to the Camp-Outt & wanted to get a block or two, then brought it to the Camp-Outt. Will do that again for anyone who wants some or is having difficulty finding it.

:cool:
 
Rats! Thought I had the real stuff.

Three coats and the pan is flat dark grey. Maybe I'll take you up on the beeswax at CICO.

Sue

George, does this mean I have to clean all that off?
 
Good point Betsey, I forgot there are some impure "bee wax" out there.

Sue,
It is hard to say, Are you confident you have pure bee wax? If not, generally paraffin has been added, to up the melting point of the wax.
When you melted your wax did it have a very pleasant aroma of honey with out the odor of a candle, if so, you should be OK.
If not I suggest ya start over, by burning or removing the season you have put on. Sorry for that, but better to be safe than sorry.
