I have mentioned about a thousand times that
A BREAKFAST SET FOR TWO...*
The basket contained other items that are sure gonna taste GOOOD.....
*
Altho this pattern is more modern than I am used to,
I just LOVE it....
*
THIS goofy looking thing is a GERMAN PANCAKE..
*
Cooked in a 9" cast iron skillet in a 425 oven..
This one was very thin, which is the way I love them.
It was ALMOST like a crepe...
If you use a smaller pan, it will be thicker.
*
I am unsure just how you are supposed to eat one of these... and I'm not at all sure WHY I put it on this small plate !? I guess just to show you how large this thang is !!
*
Pretty little golden napkin rings..
The tiny vintage BLUE WINDMIL pitcher Mr. Sweet bought for me years and years ago..
...I just sprinkled with POWDERED SUGAR and TART RED CHERRIES...
OH HONEY !!
*
!/2 CUP FLOUR
2 EGGS
1 TABLESPOON MELTED BUTTER
1/2 CUP MILK
dash of salt and cinnamon
425 for 15 minutes (ck. it for brownness)
"Oh I just love german pancakes. If you mix all of it in the blender and get it really frothy, then put in the iron skillet, it will roll up the sides of the pan and make a huge pancake that you then can vill with fruit or just more melted butter and powdered sugar and slice into wedges. They are just the best. Your new dishes are wonderful too. " Hugs, Marty
My thanks, Marty...
Just guess what WE are having for dinner tonight !! Do you think we would be considered
RED NECK if we had Blackberry Wine with it ??

Another sweet lady just emailed me to tell us a good way to eat them:
The reason I wanted to comment--the German pancakes! We're German--immigrated when I was 2 years old. I ate those pancakes growing up and they are one of my favorite breakfast foods from childhood. I haven't had them or seen them in many years. The way we ate them was to spread jam or jelly on the flat pancake (my favorite plain old grape), then roll it up and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Oh my--I'm going to make some with your recipe! Thanks so much for posting it. Best to you and your Mr. Sweet for many more years together!Ilka LazaroffClifton, VA=
Thanks so much, ILKA.....I like GRAPE jelly, too !

What a nice gift....love the dishes! The food looks good too...I love crepes and anything with fruit and whipped cream on it! Come say hi :D
Oh yummy. And you know I love the blue & white. I really miss German potatoe pancakes with a smooth applesauce on top. They are soooo tasty.

Somehow I missed your email comment and tonight just stumbled over it.
I love your colorful blog and the background. I have used the yellow and also the green polka dots and they look so nice and cheery.
West Texas. I'm not sure i know where ease and sea meet. My daughter and sister lived in Houston for about 20 years, and now Patti is in Austin and loving it. I have only been to Houston and Galveston, but loved all that was going on.
I put your button on my blog so I can find you.....
Be back again and thanks for writing.........

BJ, if I lived in your neighborhood, my Yankee would be at your door every single day like a little puppy dog...looking for a treat.
Of course, the treat would be one of those delicious sweets you're sooo good at tempting everyone with. LOL ;)

What a sweet surprise! That cherry crunch sounds tasty and your German pancakes look out of this world delicious! My hubby makes Swedish pancakes and we love them!
I love all your blues and pinks in your table setting...so pretty!
I love any type of blue and white dishes and yours are gorgeous! And everything looks so yummy!
Debbie
I'm not a *Blue Lovin'* person but your dishes are lovely. And the German pancakes with fixings are heavenly looking.
But why would you be considered RED NECK if you had Blackberry Wine with them?
Don't worry about answering that question, in your comments. I'm gonna' be writing you an email soon anyway. I've wondered something [else] long enough, and I'm finally just going to ask. ,-) No! It is not personal! -gigggggles-
Well, BJ, it looks as if you started a German pancake tide of eating pleasure!
I love this anniversary gift. You can't do better than blue and white! Happy Blue Monday.
Oh BJ, if only I could reach right through my computer screen, I WOULD!! Your German pancakes look delicious!!.. and I LOVE all the beautiful blue dishes! The only thing I can't find yet is that blackberry wine!! I'VE LOOKED! Only a couple of smaller places though.. I'll keep looking! Happy Blue Monday! ((hugs)) ~tina
What wonderful gifts and delicious too! I'm lovin those pancakes and girl, do they look good! I'll eat them any way at all but all dressed up with powdered sugar and fruit, Mmmm!

Happy Blue Monday. mmmmmm-yummy pancake discussion! What a nice nice gift! And you're still enjoying your celebration! :) Neat! Jenn
Oh what a wonderful batch of gifts! I love the information on the pancake...I've never made one, but they sound so good.
The blue dishes are so pretty...a little change is good, even if they are more modern...I'm already picturing them with your red things for the 4th of July!
