Easy Pancake Recipe with Leftover Bread

Yes, you heard that right: pancakes with leftover bread. These pancakes are ready in a blink of an eye if you have a good blender in your kitchen. Just add a couple of eggs, a splash of milk and some caster sugar. And the great thing here is: the leftover bread replaces the flour!
These bread pancakes make a great breakfast or afternoon snack. You can also add fresh blueberries or raisins to the batter in the end to give the pancakes some extra texture if you like. This leftover bread recipe makes about 6 large or 10 small pancakes, depending on how much of the batter you use at a time. I made small ones and they were awesome!
Enjoy!

  5. Blend it all for about 20 seconds until you end up with a fine and thick pancake batter. Make sure that there are no lumps in the batter. Then stir in the raisins or blueberries (optional). Pour a tiny drop of oil in a small pancake pan and place the pan over medium heat until hot. Scoop a good portion of the bread batter to the hot pan (depending on how large or small you want your pancakes to be). Work in batches if you like.

  7. Bake the pancakes for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Then carefully lift the pancake using a rubber spatula to see if it's golden enough and flip it over on its uncooked side. Cook the pancake for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Then remove the pancake and keep it warm on a clean plate under some tinfoil. Add another drop of oil to the hot pan and another spoonful of the pancake bread batter. Repeat this until there’s no batter left anymore. Then transfer the hot pancakes onto plates, add your favorite topping and serve hot.
