I LOVE BREAKFAST..

GERMAN PANCAKES ♥
I've posted them before but they are worthy of another round.
I'm busy, getting ready to start on a
ROOM RE-DO....
so I've gone back in time for a favorite post.

It is ONE BIG PANCAKE,
cooked either in a regular, round CAKE pan
or, as I did,
in a cast iron skillet..
It rises...
then falls into
light and delicious !  ♥

They are thin...almost like a CREPE...
and you can add just ANYthing to them to make a really special treat.
I hear MAPLE SYRUP is a really good choice...
(Mr. Sweet's favorite ♣
I'm thinking
creme cheese and pecans, with a tiny bit of crushed PINEAPPLE..
*SIGH 

Sweet cousins ♥gave us these pretty dishes, napkins, napkin rings
and I love using them.

The market, PINK flowers look so pretty with the dishes.
I have NO flowers this summer (8/11) so I have to 
*get my flower fix* from the market..

Since CHERRIES are one of my very favorite fruits,
this is what I added. to our pancakes.
Sweet, yet tart and,
O SO DELICIOUS  ♥
I buy the cans of TART CHERRIES (not the pie filling...never the pie filling)
add a tiny bit of sugar, a little flour and water...
gently boil for a few minutes...they will thicken a little.

I think the dishes look....DANISH..SWEDISH..
maybe even a little GERMAN..?

The delightful pancake looks good on the blue.

Sweet and spicy apples are good, rolled in the pancakes, so I've heard.   ♣

♥
1/4 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a medium baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix flour, milk, eggs and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake on center rack in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown 
Then, add whatever fruit you like and sprinkles of delicious, white, fluffy POWDERED SUGAR ♥
NOTE..I used my large cast iron skillet to bake this and it worked beautifully.


Love and kisses  ♥

    Bj, they look so hummy. These would make for a great brunch idea with a group of family or friends. Just build your own pancake with all the trimming. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my french style clock. You said that you pinned it, what did you mean by that? I left a message on my blog on your suggestion. Check it out. Added something to your recipe for no bake chocolate cookies...what did you think Decor. Lady

    WOW German pancakes. I have to ask my hubby if her ever had these. He grew up on his grandmothers German cooking. He still talks about it often. I never got to meet her and wish I had some of her recipes.

    Well, I'm tickled PINK that you've gone back in time, since I missed this post the first go 'round. It looks YUMMY & although I've seen & heard about such big pancakes, I've never tried making one. I sure will now! I even have the lg. cast iron skillet to do it just like you did.

    Thanks for the tip about sweetening the tart cherries, too. I'll try that soon. I grew up with a yard surrounded by sour cherries & I have wonderful, fond memories of my Mom making pies & cobblers. NONE of them tasted like that canned pie filling stuff. Your idea may be closer to the real flavor.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing all your GRAND GRANDS!!! You are very blessed, BJ & you bless each of us when you share your world.

    fondly,
    Rett

    ps. Praying right along with your TX governor today

    Oh yum yum yum..yum yum! I love pancakes like that.. They could be like Finnish pancakes too. They look so delish with your cherries on them.
    Your blue dishes look like they could be Finnish also...

    I love your sailboat mugs...
    thank you for sharing and have a great day!

    So these are not what are called Dutch babies? I must try one tomorrow and see how it turns out. I'm up for something besides peanut butter toast. ☺

    The blue dishes and linens look so nautical and cool. Cool, cool, cool...did you feel that cool breeze float by? Sometimes we just have to trick ourselves, I know.

    Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. When growing up, we needed to make it through working in the fields. I still enjoy it everyday. I try to eat more healthy now, but biscuits and gravy, big slice of country ham, homemade preserves and coffee cannot be beat.

    They look deeeeelicious!
    Your tablesetting is lovely also... very homey, warm and inviting.
    I love satisfying my "flower fix" too!
    Time to visit the garden and see what's popping up and maybe add some of those gerbera daisies that I spied in your photos!
    Happy new week to you!
