German Pancakes

German Pancakes

2 C milk
2 C flour
8 eggs
1/4 C butter

Put butter in 9 x 13 pan and turn oven on to 425.  While butter is melting, put milk, flour and eggs in a blender and blend until smooth, scrapping down the sides.  When butter is melted and bubbly, pour batter into hot pan and return to oven.  Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed up.  Serve with powdered sugar and lemon.  Or...nutella, syrup, jam, cinnamon sugar....whatever tickles your fancy.

**If you bring the eggs to room temperature and warm the milk, the batter "puffs" better.

**I know these aren't "German" but that's what we call them.  My mom's original recipe only had 3 eggs, 3/4 C flour and 3/4 C milk.  They came out really puffy, but then shrank to thin little pieces, my family could eat 4 pans of that recipe.  So I just increased everything and they still love them.  I also love putting in fresh fruit like peaches or berries, but the pancake doesn't puff as well.
