"From Ree Drummond's blog and featured on her new Food Network show. I especially liked this recipe because it isn't over-sweet and it is nice and light. I did find the batter a little on the runny side and had to add a bit more cake flour, but overall a lovely breakfast treat!"

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups cake flour

1. Heat heavy skillet or grill over medium low heat.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside.
