Mennonite German Pancakes Recipes

MENNONITE GERMAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you make more than one pancake, make each one individually.
• Stir with a fork only leaving lumps in batter.
• Pour into a metal cake pan that has about 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine melted into it. (I like to use metal cake pans with completely vertical sides as it works better than glass pans.).
• Bake at 350 degrees about 15-20 minutes. I sometimes bake them slightly longer until the puffs are golden brown.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. You may eat it this way or top with the wonderful strawberry freezer jam, warmed up, like we do at our house. Serve warm.

• Spray frying pan with "Pam" and heat over high heat until hot.
• Reduce heat and pour approx 1/3 cup of batter in center and tilt to cover entire bottom of pan.
• When small bubbles form and bottom begins to brown, flip and cook other side.
• We like to eat these sprinkled with sugar and rolled up.
