Eggs in a Hole Pancakes

So this morning I was in the mood for pancakes.  But I heard sunny side up eggs calling my name too, so the only thing to do was to make Eggs in a Hole Pancakes. Takes a little bit of practice but after a couple of tries I got it right. I even drizzled syrup over the top!   Yum.

Eggs in a Hole Pancakes

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon cooking oil

3 cups Pancake mix, prepared as directed

4 eggs

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Crack one egg into a small bowl and set aside.

Preheat a large skillet  over medium heat and add oil and butter. Add about ⅓-1/2 cup of the batter to the pan.  I like to make these one at a time but you can do more if you want.

 

When bubbles begin to form on top, carefully flip the pancake over and cook for less than a minute on the other side…until lightly golden but not done.

 

Immediately after flipping, use a glass or a cookie cutter or a knife to cut a circle out of the center of the pancake.   Carefully pour the egg from the bowl into the hole and season with salt and pepper.

 

Cover skillet for 1 to 2 minutes, until the whites have set. Slide onto a plate, egg side up, and serve with maple syrup.
