Jane Marsh Cooks: Diva Party Recipes with Color and Poety

Dedication: These Holiday Desserts are dedicated to my eternally memorable mother. Beauty was her life force. Totally, and with color creations of flowers and food-functionally coordinated and displayed with rhythmic merriment and elegance-decorating was food for her soul. In an exhibition reminiscent of Luxury Homes & Gardens, she wrapped one up in the musical whirl of her delivery.

Her diva-like, and incredibly vivid party displays are still, and always will be, Something to Sing About!

Pancakes (Palatschinken):

1 ¾ cups flour
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks
¼ cup sugar
dash salt
3 Tbsp. fat
apricot jam (as needed)
1 Tbsp. sugar

Beat flour and milk until smooth. Add egg yolks, sugar, and salt; blend well. Cover the bottom of frying pan with fat (or brush with melted butter). Pour in thin layer of batter. Fry over medium flame on both sides. Repeat until batter is all used. Fill each pancake with apricot jam. Sprinkle sugar on top.
(4-5 servings)
