I don’t have any apples, but I wonder if a pear would work …?? Love cinnamon and pear combined.

I love this recipe! But I must admit that when I make it for my family (me, my husband and our 18 month old) I triple it and put it in a 9×13 pan.

I love this recipe! Try it with some grated cheddar cheese on the top.

This recipe was super easy and very delicious!!! My husband, who never acts too excited about things I make, raved about this dish. It’s certainly a keeper. We even thought it would be a fun recipe to make for a special afternoon treat with tea. And with summer’s fresh fruit coming, I was even wondering what it would be like with fresh peaches, apricots or plums. The possibilites are endless I’m thinking. Thanks so much for a terrific recipe!

Tried these this morning, easy and delicious. My husband liked it, a nice change from our usual pancakes.

I just made these this morning, and they puffed up like they are supposed to… but then they fell when I took them out of the oven. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? (They are still yummy, but pretty flat.)

Ha! I TOTALLY do that…especially with the puffy edges.

You omitted the final step:
Eat pfannekuchen straight out of pan…in one sitting…with your fingers.

We make this all the time… we call them “German Pancakes.” I don’t know why, that’s just what my family always called them. I also use glass pie pans, but in a pinch I have used cake pans and cast iron pots. I use a large glass casserole dish once in a while, when I’m making them for many people — doubling the recipe since it is so much bigger than my pan.

I never use salt. Since there’s no baking powder to activate, and no yeast to retard, I don’t think the salt is necessary (and it was not in my family recipe We sometimes leave out the apples and cinnamon sugar. It makes the pancake less sweet, but then each person “dresses” it as they prefer: with powdered sugar, berries or maple syrup — more like a traditional pancake. My son likes to use lemon juice and powdered sugar.

It’s a great meal, I even make them for dinner once in a while. Basically flour, eggs, and milk, with a bit of butter — all ingredients that are good for you.
