German Pancakes

By

In my home, these German Pancakes are comfort food. My mother, who was born and raised in Southern Germany (Bavaria) served these pancakes to us. Now, my own son enjoys memories of his "Oma" serving these to him, when he was a little kid.

Traditionally, we liked to fill the the pancakes with strawberry jam. This morning, I used the rest of the lemon curd that I had made (and posted).

I make extra pancakes, because they reheat so well in the microwave.
