German pancakes


German pancakes were always my favorite growing up. For some reason my mom didn't like making them (although they are super easy!)- probably because it's hard to make enough to satisfy the hungry tummies of a million kids... I always loved the crusty butter sizzles on the top and sides and we always loved it when the sides puffed up and went crazy.
Well, Laura and I made a German pancake for breakfast this morning, and it was the most amazingly glorious volcano of a German pancake I have seen in my life! Here are some pics of it (and me in the morning) in all our glory.

my mouth is watering as I read. I've been totally thinking of making some of those for the past few weeks. I should just get off my butt and do it! I love powdered sugar on them, especially when there's a pool of melted butter! mmm... delicious.

Also... great blog-I'm looking forward to following your adventures.
