Pancake Fashion Statement Recipe

How to make it

---

• Now, here is the fun part - the PANCAKE FASHION STATEMENT is up to you!
• This is like icing layers of a cake!
• Place the 1st pancake on a BAKING SHEET
• Spread the top of pancake with a thin layer, your choice of jam, jelly, preserves, spreading to the edges
• Top with another pancake, then spread another with choice of jam, jelly, preserves, and so on......
• Continue layering until the desired height is reached, spreading the top pancake with jam, jelly, or preserves
• It will look like a tall cake, but again make sure it will slide easily into the oven for the meringue to brown
• Make as many layers as you can, and as much meringue as you want
• THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! AND IT IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!
• Now prepare the meringue
• This is the final "dressing" which will be spread over the entire pancake stack
• BASIC MERINGUE RECIPE (see NOTE at bottom)
• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 6 tablespoons sugar ( 2 tablespoons per egg white)
• Place egg whites is mixer bowl, start beating until foamy, then add cream of tartar
• Beat on high speed until standing in soft peaks
• While beating on high, add sugar a little at a time, until satiny, high peaks form
• It is now ready to "spread"
• Spread the layered pancake stack with the meringue, making beautiful swirls!
• Place in oven just to brown slightly
• REMOVE FROM OVEN CAREFULLY
• Cool slightly
• WITH A LARGE SPATULA, transfer from baking sheet to serving dish
• THE PRESENTATION IS BEAUTIFUL ON A FOOTED CAKE STAND
• Place a serrated knife near so guests can "slice" in wedges like a cake
• NOTE: Double recipe to get the desired amount of meringue to cover the desired stack of pancakes
