Rye Pancakes

Rye Pancakes

Here’s a recipe for rye pancakes that dates back to the early 1700s, when great fields of rye waved in the wind all along the Taunton River Valley in Massachusetts. The molasses or sugar required for these pancakes was brought up the river in small sloops or brigs before the days of the Old Colony Railroad. A cherished family tradition handed down from generation to generation, this recipe was contributed to Yankee by Miss Helen H. Lane.Try them with the dipping sauce for a delightful historical treat! They also taste utterly fantastic with maple syrup or honey on top.
