German Pancakes

    From the kitchen Mandy (Woodbury) Nielsen, who grew up in John Day, is this fluffy and satisfying breakfast of German Pancakes. It’s so easy and so good – perfect for your Valentine.

1 cube butter
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp salt

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place butter in 9X13 baking dish and melt down (watch not to burn).
    Combine eggs, flour, milk and salt. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into hot melted butter pan. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
    When you take the pan out of the oven let it sit on stove top. It will collapse as it cools.
    Serve with powdered sugar and butter syrup below, or your favorite pancake syrup.
Tip: To avoid lumps, add the milk gradually, stirring in between additions.

Butter Syrup

1 C. melted butter
1 C. buttermilk
2 C. sugar
2 Tbsp. corn syrup
2 Tbsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

    Mandy usually makes half of this syrup recipe. Use a larger sauce pan as the syrup will raise when you add the baking soda.
    Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 min. Let it cool slightly before serving.
