My Mother fixed Bread Cakes for breakfast. It was my favorite breakfast meal. I have recreated the recipe from memory. It is a great recipe for using up stale bread (heels and left over bread).
Make some bread cakes for breakfast and serve with butter and syrup. YUM!

How to Make Bread Cakes

- 2Heat griddle and oil to about 300 – 325 degrees. Spoon the batter on the griddle in small to medium cakes. Cook until brown on both sides and serve with butter and maple syrup. Makes about 6 cakes.
