Puffy Pancakes, also known as German Pancakes

Puffy Pancakes as my family calls them are also known by most as German Pancakes...but whatever they are called, they are DELICIOUS! This is one of the easiest breakfasts to make and it is one of my absolute favorites! I am kind of obsessed with them! We make them for birthdays and Valentine's Day and just whenever. And they are always a hit! We can't get enough!


6 eggs

1 cup flour

1 cup milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla


3/4 of a cube of butter


Melt the butter in a 375 degree oven in a 9x13 glass pan. Put all of the ingredients except the butter in a blender and blend until smooth. When the butter is melted pour the batter into the hot pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until it is puffy and golden in color. Serve with homemade maple syrup and strawberries.




MAPLE SYRUP:

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 1/4 cup water

2 tsp Mapeleine (you can usually find this in any store- it is in a little bottle near the vanilla)

1 Tbsp butter, optional


Boil sugars and water for 5 minutes, make sure the sugar is dissolved and not grainy, and then add the Mapeleine and butter.
