Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese
2 sticks butter, softened
2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
confectioners sugar

Directions

1

These pancakes are as big as a dinner plate and formerly even bigger (12-inches in diameter!).
2

Nowadays you may find such big pancakes on the menu of a restaurant, but at home, we make them the dinner plate size.
3

They are either eaten as a savory (with smoked sausage or bacon) or as a sweet (plain with molasses or golden syrup or with apples).
4

Pancakes are best when made with yeast and they should be served piping hot.
5

Use two skillets when available. Keep the pancakes hot on steam, or covered in the oven.
6

Cold pancakes are awful!

The following recipe is a luxury one, for special occasions, as many eggs are used in preparing (instead of yeast).
