GERMAN PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Crack open the Eggs into a bowl.
• Add Milk to eggs, beat well.
• Mix Flour and Salt in a separate bowl.
• Stir flour and salt mixture into the milk and eggs gradually, until smooth.
• The batter will be thin.
• Heat a heavy 8-inch to 10-inch skillet and grease lightly with butter or oil.
• Pour only enough batter to make a very thin pancake. Tip the skillet from side to side and around to help spread the pancake batter as needed.
• Cook on one side (without flipping) until the pancake begins to blister or bubble. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until a light golden color. Do not over cook. You do not want them to get hard or crispy. NOTE: Pancakes cook very quickly, pay attention.
• Remove from skillet and place on a board.
• Once you have several pancakes stacked on the board, you can begin filling one at a time.
• Brush one side only with butter.
• Add about 1 to 2 Tablespoon(s) of your desired filling: Cinnamon and Sugar; Jam; Jelly; Fruit; etc. to the buttered side.
• Roll pancake from one edge all the way across to the other side.
• Place rolled pancake (or two) on a plate and dust with Powdered Sugar

GERMAN PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Makes 4 to 6 servings: *Bread flour is a high-protein flour. The high protein helps the pancake rise. All-purpose flour may be substituted but the results won't be as spectacular.
• 2. 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. NOTE: It is very important that you preheat your oven. Place oven rack on the middle rack of your oven. Place a large, heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast iron skillet (I like to use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet), in the oven until hot and sizzling. While pan is heating, prepare your batter. NOTE: Use a shallow pan, not more than 3 inches deep (pie pans, cast iron skillets, oven-proof fry pans, baking dishes, paella pans). Like I said before, I prefer using a cast iron skillet or pan because it acts as a heat reservoir, retaining the heat and distributing it evenly. 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy. Using a pot holder, remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the butter; tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the skillet. . Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven. 4. Bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges - it may puff irregularly in the center). 5. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Either bring the pancake to the table in its pan or slide it onto a serving plate. Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate. 6. To serve, cut into serving-size wedges and transfer to individual serving plates. Top with your favorite topping and serve immediately. For a classic German Pancake/Dutch Baby, sprinkle with freshly squeezed lemon juice, and dust the top with powdered sugar. Topping Ideas: Sifted powdered (confectioners) sugar Fresh applesauce with a dash of cinnamon Crushed pineapple, drained Whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries Syrups (maple, your favorite fruit syrup, or honey) Canned pie filling, cold or warm SMALLER RECIPE: Makes 2 to 4 servings: 3 eggs, room temperature 1/2 cup milk, room temperature 1/2 cup sifted bread flour or all-purpose flour* 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 7 teaspoons butter Freshly-squeezed lemon juice Powdered (confectioners') sugar *Bread flour is a high-protein flour. The high protein helps the pancake rise. All-purpose flour may be substituted but the results won't be as spectacular.

BAVARIAN CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the gelatin and cold water. Set aside to soften. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until smooth.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Pour the hot milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and pour the custard through a strainer.
• Stir in the softened gelatin and vanilla and stir to melt the gelatin. Allow to cool.
• When the mixture has cooled almost to room temperature, whip the heavy cream to medium stiffness and fold it into the custard. Immediately transfer the Bavarian cream to parfait glasses, molds, or on prepared cake layers, as it will firm up quickly as the gelatin sets. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

AUTHENTIC GERMAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Set aside a 12-inch non-stick skillet or electric griddle.
• In a medium bowl, crack 4 eggs and combine well with a fork. Add the sugar and stir again.
• Add the flour and stir just lightly until streaks of flour still visible. Slowly add the milk and buttermilk, stirring to help prevent clumps. If clumps won't go away, don't worry, this is fine.
• Heat the pan or griddle to medium heat (or 350F degrees for electric). Make sure it's plenty hot before pouring the batter.
• Melt enough butter to prevent sticking and to add flavor. Slowly pour batter onto pan until it reaches the size you want.
• The egg-y batter will cook up and bubble quickly along the edges, continue cooking until just the middle is shiny, then carefully flip the pancake over. I use two spatulas to do this if the pancake is large. Alternately, you could just cook the pancake on the first side and when the middle of the pancake is no longer shiny, it's done and you can flip it onto your plate. I like both sides browned a bit so I flip them. If you flip, just cook an additional 30 seconds until the second side starts to brown lightly.
• Serve either flat, rolled, or folded into fours. If you're wanting to serve rolled German pancakes (as crepes), keep the batter quite thin in the pan, tilting the pan to spread batter out from center.
• These pancakes are tasty with just real syrup poured over them, or with fruit of choice and powdered sugar.

Swirl the pan over the heat until the flame subsides. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°
• Add the whole eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, vanilla, salt and brown sugar to a blender. Blend the batter on low for 1 minute and then scrape down the sides in case any flour is sticking to the sides. Continue to blend on low for another 2 minutes.
• Put the butter into a 9x13 baking dish (I used glass) and place into the preheated oven while the batter rests for 5 minutes. The butter should start to boil but watch that it doesn't burn.
• When the rest time is done, take the dish out of the oven and swirl the butter to make sure it spreads all over.
• Give the batter a quick stir or pulse then carefully pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 300° and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar, water, and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Lower heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are very soft, and the syrup starts to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the stove and carefully pass through a mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard any seeds and fibrous bits that are left in the sieve. Let syrup cool for 15 minutes, then cover and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until all ingredients are well incorporated; set aside.
• Place buttermilk, cornmeal, and 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until butter melts and mixture starts to simmer. Once simmering, cook and stir until very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
• Whisk eggs into the cooled cornmeal mixture until incorporated. Add the reserved flour mixture and stir with a spatula until well combined and no flour remains in the saucepan; batter will be thick but still scoopable.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop 1/3 cup batter for each pancake into the hot skillet and press them down with the back of a spatula to flatten out. Cook until the outside edges start to look a little dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side until pancakes are cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat to cook remaining pancakes, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
• Top warm pancakes with strawberry syrup.
