German Pancakes or Eirkuchen

It has been a long time since I have been here, but I am ready to start this project again.  It will have to be a little different because My job has changed and Monday through Thursday I will not be doing any projects because I am at work 11 hours a day.  I am only home to sleep, eat and take care of the family.  However, Saturday and Sunday are my project days, but I will make enough stuff to post several times during the week maybe even every day. 

I am going back to my heritage today and making a recipe I found.  They are different than regular pancakes.  They are eggy and light and puff up into fun shapes.  You will need the following ingredients:

6 eggs
1 cup milk (I used skim lactose free)
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar (optional)
lemon juice (optional)
syrup (optional)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.  Mix the eggs, milk, flour and salt together. 

 

Don't beat it to death.  You want lumpy batter.



Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full and put in the oven.

 

 

Bake for 18-20 minutes.  I put mine in for 20 minutes and I think they were a little dark so just be careful with them.  They still tasted wonderful.

 

 

They are easy and they taste terrific.  I tried mine two ways.  I had the first one with a little lemon juice and powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

 

 

The second one with sugar free syrup.

 

 

I preferred the the lemon juice and powdered  sugar, but they were both good.  I have extras and I am going to try and freeze them to see if they are any good.  I'll let you know what happens.   Bye for now!!

Do you need a cool summer treat?  The yogurt smoothie bars from Krogers are creamy and delicious.  And at a great price.  Being a bzzagent is a real treat, but being able to try available, delicious food at the right price makes it even better.  I hope you and your family enjoy this as much as I do.
