German Pancake

This in one of the prettiest German Pancakes I ever baked.

I took the picture and use it with my recipe album that sets on my counter. I took an acrylic photo stand, added my most used recipes and it sits on my counter. The pages flip over and stand upright for me to read them as I'm preparing them. It's so handy, keeps the recipes clean and with a few photos included it's decorative.

About the German Pancake. The Village Inn Restaurants use to serve it with hot apple filling. It was delivered to your table looking like this, a bowl of hot apple filling was poured in, the pancake folded over in four quick moves, flipped and set in front of you. It was one of my favorites ever. A friend gave me the recipe and now and again I have to bake one, it takes a while. It was a favorite of Michael's and Stayton really likes it too. It was just one of those things I thought about as I was wiping the plastic pages, looking out the window, watching the deer and a few birds who came to enjoy the fresh water in the birdbath.

Recipe: 3 Eggs * 1/2 Cup Milk * 1/2 Cup Flour * 1/4 tsp Salt
Preheat oven @425. Melt 2 T. butter in large cast iron skillet
Mix other ingredients well, pour into skillet on top of stove, let mixture heat for just a minute on top of stove before placing into oven. Bake 15 minutes or til golden brown. Pancake should rise around edges, forming a "bowl"
Serve with hot fruit, yogurt, cream cheese, fruit sauce, powdered sugar, etc. ENJOY!

That looks yummy. But I no longer have a cast iron skillet. My hands and wrist got so I couldn't pick them up, unless I used both hands, then I couldn't scrap out the gravy or what ever I had in them. So I went back to Teflon.

But I may try it some day using a large round cake pan, do you think that would work? Is this something you only eat at breakfast or can you eat it at any meal, as dessert?

Thanks for popping onto my blog. Still working on my computer trying to get it all set up again the way I had it before.

I have used a round glass cake dish or a glass pie dish. I think it needs to be something that really heats up good. If you use the glass dishes, let them heat up good in the oven before pouring your batter in. My daughter says she uses this and fills it with "pizza" type fillings, she posted that in comments in the previous post. If you want to serve it as a dessert your would have unlimited choices of fillings, toppings, hot filling with a scoop of ice cream on top....yum.
I really enjoy your blog. I have about five I check in with each day.
