I have a new love

I have a new love and my new love is called German Pancakes.

I was hanging out at the second hand store yesterday flipping through cookbooks.  One book had a recipe for German Pancakes.  I considered purchasing the book at the exorbitant price of $1.99 but it was the only thing in the book I wanted, so being frugal as I tend to be, I just memorized the recipe.

Last night, before dinner I whipped up a pancake as an appetizer.  I'm sure that somewhere pancakes make a perfect appetizer.  

It was so good, this morning I made more for breakfast.

They are fun, tasty and quite easy to make.  And I must write the recipe down before my brain purges it to make room for more stolen recipes and other important things like walking, talking and delivering mail.

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  
• Put 2 Tablespoons of butter in a pie pan and put it in the oven while it preheats.  You want the butter melted and the pan hot but be careful not to BURN the butter (I tried that already, it doesn't work so well.)
• Mix together (I used my hand blender) until fluffy:  3 eggs, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk and a pinch of salt.
• Pour the mixture into the hot buttery pie plate and bake for 20 minutes.

(oh man - I just noticed how disgusting the front of my oven is.  please ignore the smears and finger prints!!)

Remove from pie plate (it should slip right out), put on a plate, sprinkle with melted butter and cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar, maple syrup, warm jam, fresh fruit or any combination.
