German Pancakes

These are "real" German pancakes. Not the puffy ones that you learn to make in high school's homeeconomics class. LOL! I give it ♥♥♥♥ but my kids would give it ♥♥♥♥♥ they are always asking for these. We eat them with strawberry's or peaches or bananas and syrup and cool whip.

German Pancakes

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 TB sugar
2 TB oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
2 eggs
2 cups milk

Mix well but it will be slightly lumpy.

In a medium sized skillet put about a TB oil and coat the pan evenly. Pour enough batter in the pan (about the size of a tennis ball (or just a tad bit more) and then pick up the pan and manuever it until the batter coats the entire pan place back on the burner and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on medium high. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute. Remove and repeat with remaining batter. You can make them as thin as crepes but then they would be crepes. German pancakes are generally thicker than crepes.

You can eat these several ways. Just roll up and drizzle with syrup of choice or powdered sugar. You can also eat with applesauce. Our family prefers to put cool whip in them and serve with bananas, strawberries or peaches drizzled with maple or boysenberry syrup. YUM! You can also eat them for dessert with ice cream.
