German Pancakes (Hootenany)

Some people call this German Pancakes, some call it Hootenany.  Whatever you call it, it's delicious and easy to make.

German Pancakes

1/4 cube butter
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Put butter into 9x13 pan and put in the oven to melt butter.

Meanwhile, crack eggs in to medium size mixing bowl and whisk.  Then whisk in milk. 

Lastly, combine flour, salt and sugar in a separate bowl.  Then add to egg mixture all at once.  Mix thoroughly with whisk or electric beater.

Remove pan from oven.  The butter should be melted by now.  Tilt pan to spread butter around the bottom of the pan.  Pour egg mixture into pan and return to oven.

* I double the recipe for my family and bake both pans at the same time.

Bake for 20 minutes.

 Serve it up with some maple syrup or buttermilk syrup and sprinkle a little powdered sugar over it to top it off.

I like to make up the egg mixture the night before and store it in the fridge until morning.
