German Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 cup butter

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.   Mix the eggs, then add the flour, milk, and salt.  Melt the butter and pour it into your pan.  (9x9 for thick crust, 13x9 for a thinner crust).  You may need to add more butter if it doesn't cover the pan.  Poor the batter over the butter.  Then put it into the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. 

Notes: 

I come from a big German family, and so growing up this was a family favorite.  I know that everyone knows this recipe, probably from heart, but I wanted to put it up anyway.  I think this was the first recipe I ever learned at age four.  I like to squeeze lemon over top for a real German taste with powdered sugar and syrup!  You can also add vanilla flavor if you desire.  There are a lot more fattening versions with corn syrup- but this one is simple and traditional!
