Best ever Sunday Brunch German Pancakes”

German Pancakes from Karen Bradley and Loraine Irvin (from Apple Country Cookbook)

1 stick butter/margarine (1/2 cup)
8 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk

Melt butter/margarine in 9×13 pan in oven (I like the stoneware for this.) Mix rest of ingredients in blender. Pour in pan and bake at 450 for 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve hot with syrup.

Rinnie: We loved these growing up, and called them Couches and Chairs (because of what they look like when you serve them.) They are also known at Dutch Babies - not sure where that name came from!!

Here is a simple meal that may help counter all the many sweets and elaborate foods we eat during these holiday times. Lori’s comments were “delicious, yummm!”
