I wanted to post some Borglum family recipes. Lincoln Borglum had passed away in the early 80’s, but his daughter Robin was a great help with these. She told me that he was a meat and potatoes kind of guy and that he often said, “ It has taken mankind thousands of years to progress from cooking over an open fire to an advanced stove and he saw no point in moving back to the barbecue pit.
She also said that her grandmother, Mary, Gutzon’s wife had a famous chocolate cake recipe that no one could duplicate. Years later the family found out that while the cake was rising in a wood stove she would jump up and down until it fell. Then she would even it up with icing making it a chocolate icing cake.
Robin remembered her dad making these French pancakes.
LINCOLN BORGLUM PANCAKES
1/2 Cup flour
3 Tbls powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Mix dry ingredients.
1/2 cup milk - add and stir until perfectly smooth
1 egg - add and beat thoroughly
Cook like any pancakes. Since they are thin, best to try one at a time until you
see how much they spread out. They can be rolled up and used for Crepes Suzette's or filled with your choice. He generally like them hot, with melted butter and brown sugar!
