I had these once when I was a tween or a young teenager when I slept over at my Aunt's house. I had forgotten about them until I dreamed about them the other day...hahahahah. So I googled a recipe and made them for dinner tonight. They were a hit...everyone gave them 4 out of 5 stars...even the hubby...I mean...even the kids. Hahahahaha. (Both hubby and kids and myself gave them 4 out of 5 stars).
They were super easy. Really fast. Quite cheap. Not very many ingredients. Very filling.
Win, win, win, win, win!
They get really big in the oven and then fall when you pull them out of the oven.
Other reviewers thought they tasted "eggy", but no one in my family thought so.
I did warm my family before we ate that even though they are called pancakes, they do not taste like pancakes, that they need to expect a whole new food.
I got the recipe from Real Mom Kitchen.

1/4-1/2 C. butter (some people even use up to 1 cup) (I used 1/2 and it was great...I would try 1/4 next time just to see if they still turned out good)
1 C. milk
6 eggs
1 C. flour
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
1. While oven is preheating to 425 degrees, melt butter in a 9 X 13 pan.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a blender.
3. Remove hot pan from oven and pour batter into melted butter
4. Bake 15-20 minutes (They will rise, but won't overflow)
5. Cut into squares and serve with normal french toast toppings. One traditional topping is lemon juice and powdered sugar on top. (We really liked the lemon juice and powdered sugar, they almost tasted like lemon squares.)
Serves 8 (I only needed 1 pan for my family of 6 eaters and we had leftovers).
