German Pancake

gpwithblueberries

When I was little we would go to this breakfast place where I discovered German Pancakes. They are puffy, light pancakes reminiscent of popovers, another childhood favorite. You had to wait, as they are made to order, and out would come this giant, golden brown delight!

The great thing is most of the items you have in pantry and you can top with your favorite fruits or whatever you have in the kitchen.

Notes: I many times use low fat milk. It will puff less. I have also used non fat yogurt and fruit as a topping.
