It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and what better way to spend it than with special breakfast. My husband was off to watch his oldest son play hockey bright and early this morning and I had every intention of getting out of bed and making something amazing. But……my youngest son woke up and wanted some snuggles, so did the dog, and the cat….plus….the dark roast coffee and “Peter Rabbit” cartoons were just too good to pass up. Because I was now short on time for my breakfast, I remembered an oldie but goodie recipe for German Pancakes. This quick and easy breakfast is whipped together in minutes and bakes in the oven in less than 15 minutes. Top it with your favorite fresh fruit or fruit pie filling and, of course, powdered sugar and you have an impressive, light and delicious breakfast ready in no time!
German Pancakes
- 3/4 cup flour, sifted or stirred with a whisk to break up the lumps
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2/3 cup milk – the higher the fat the better (of course…haha)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, whip the eggs until they are a pale, yellow mixture. Whisk in butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Whisk in the flour just until combined. Do not over mix. Preheat an 11 inch oven safe skillet on the stove. Spray with pan spray and pour batter into the pan. Bake in the oven for 12-18 minutes or just until the edges are golden and the middle has puffed slightly. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with your favorite fruit.
Enjoy!
