Meat Ball Pancakes

Yield 6

Author Betty Crocker

This recipe was published during WWII when meat was scarce. It makes six servings from just 1/2 pound of ground beef! Served with mashed potatoes or mushroom gravy--or both--it makes a quick and tasty meal.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 pound (500g) ground beef
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Dash of pepper
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 1 tablespoon (15g) grated onion
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Separate yolks and whites of eggs. Beat yolks until light.
2. Blend remaining ingredients, except egg whites, with yolks. Mix well.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff; then, fold into meat mixture.
4. Drop spoonfuls on hot greased griddle. When puffed and brown, turn and brown on other side.
5. Serve immediately with mushroom sauce, if desired. Or choose a creamed vegetable or creamed potatoes to go with the pancakes.
