German Strawberry "Pfannkuchen" (Pancakes)

  • 5 mins
  • 9 mins

Ingredients

  • Measurements are "approximate". You want the batter to be fairly thin, but not watery.
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • unsalted butter (for the skillet)
  • NOTE: You can make the batter a little thicker, if you prefer thick pancakes. I've adapted my mother's version to be thinner- more like crepes.

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a skillet (I prefer a non-stick)to medium heat.
Melt about 1/2 pat of butter until melted
Add about 1/2 cup of batter in the middle of the skillet. Lift the skillet and swirl the batter until it coast the entire bottom.
Cook until golden brown; flip over (or use a spatula)
Keep warm in the oven, while finishing the rest.

Add 1-2 Tbsp of desired filling-- apple sauce, preserves or lemon curd.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
