What's your favorite kind of food? Mexican? Italian? Ice cream? I'd say mine is breakfast...anything breakfast. Which is probably why I keep posting recipes for muffins and pancakes. Today is no exception. Here's another of my favorite breakfast recipes. I love it because it doesn't require any fancy ingredients or any hard work, but it still tastes awesome and looks pretty. Two very important qualities. It's German pancakes.
German pancakes are kind of like crepes, except fluffier and you bake them. While they're in the oven, they bubble up and form a little nest for whatever delicious toppings you like best. I chose strawberries, chocolate chips and powdered sugar. Yum.
Let's do this.
German pancakes

| (As an aside, I really hate 3-pronged forks. They do nothing for me.) |
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp butter, softened
dash of vanilla (optional, but why ever not?)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F (about 200 C). Grease a round cake pan, and set aside.
Using a hand mixer, blend eggs till they're a soft yellow color. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
Pour into pan and bake on a center rack for 15 minutes. (Don't be like me and put the pan too close to the heating element, or you'll end up with a little too much crispiness on top.) Then reduce heat to 350 F (175 C) and bake another 5-10 minutes till the sides have puffed up and it's golden brown.
Serve hot, right out of the oven, and topped with whatever goodness you like! This recipe is easily doubled, if you've got someone to share with.
