German Pancakes (aka, Dutch Babies)

“This simple eggy pancake with a crisp edge rises in the skillet like an oversize popover. It’s typically eaten for breakfast (directly from the skillet), but fast enough to whip up for dessert after dinner.”  Food & Wine

My sister made these delicious pancakes for a Sunday brunch during my visit to Alaska. She tripled (maybe even quadrupled) the recipe for our large family. She used a cast iron skillet and two round, 9 inch cake pans. She cut them in quarters for serving.

I love breakfast for dinner – these pancakes are so easy to make, they will be on our breakfast and dinner menus for years to come.

Tips
These pancakes are great served with many toppings. We dusted ours with powdered sugar and topped them with fresh blueberries, leaving out the almonds. These would be terrific topped with raspberries, strawberries, …warm maple syrup. Candied/toasted pecans or walnuts are great too. Enjoy!
