Dutch Egg Pancakes

Since this morning felt like a Sunday, my Mom and I decided we wanted brunch instead of breakfast...so I went scouring through the fridge to see what I had.  Thick cut bacon...check!  Eggs...check!  Whole milk (left over from Christmas baking/cooking)...check!  Yummy Dutch Pancake for brunch!

This is an old family recipe my cousin, Eileen used to make when she would come to visit us from Memphis when we were all younger.  I finally conned her into giving me this recipe, so now I can make it whenever I have a craving.  I prefer to serve this with some yummy maple syrup, but it is also good with sour cream and a little brown sugar sprinkled on top.  De-Lish!  (Note: next time I will remember to snap a photo).  Enjoy :D
