Aunt Edith's Baked Pancake

“'MY AUNT made a mighty breakfast that revolved around 'The Big Pancake'. I always enjoyed watching as she poured the batter into her huge iron skillet, then baked the confection to perfection in the oven. 'The delicious result defied description! It was a sort of combination pancake, waffle and cruller. 'Sprinkled with powdered sugar and garnished with wedges of lemon, this crispy, golden-brown treat--which covered a dinner plate!--was as delightful to the eye as it was to the palate.'”

Love this Oven Pancake...I have been making this for years but our version was with 2 eggs and 1/4 cup butter and no salt...both good :)

Nice texture...very light...I think beating the egg mixture till it's thin is very important in getting that "fluffiness" effect. Great recipe!

This was a quick cheap tasty breakfast. We poured syrup on ours'. My kids loved it. I thought it needed bacon to make it even better and more a complete breakfast.

This was so delicious and very easy to make! I left out the powder sugar and lemon and used the traditional butter and syrup....tasted just like french toast! I've made it now three times and I can't get enough of it! Excellent way to get kids to eat their eggs!

This is an excellent recipe. I first had basked pancakes at an area bed and breakfast. It was so delicious. I started looking for a similar recipe and stumbled upon this one. It is fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly! I have made this several times now, and I make this one for me and a slight variation for my husband, stirring in diced sausage, bacon and cheese to the batter for his as a savory one. I make an apple cider (or juice) syrup with this, as it goes beautifully with it. Note: I do add cinnamon and 1t. madagascar vanilla to it the batter.

This is a great version of a German pancake! I make it almost every weekend. It is delicious as is, but for a variation, I add 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. Fantastic!

I thought this was pretty gross. My husband said it wasn't bad if it was smothered in syrup or something. I followed the recipe exactly and it did look cool like the picture. I didn't put the full amount of salt in and it was still WAY too salty. Much too oily for my taste too.

Very, very good! These taste just like the German pancakes at my favorite restaurant. My kids went nuts over them. Thanks for a great recipe! I put butter and lemon juice on them, and then sprinkle them liberally with powdered sugar. SO good!

Very surprised by all the rave reviews. Even tho I added vanilla and cinnamon, this turned out a little too bland for our tastes. Thank you anyway.

I will certainly be doubling the recipe next time. I am always looking for something different to give our 3 boys for breakfast (ages 6,4,and 3) and this looked like my favorite german pancake from a pancake house that we used to go to. Boys loved it, but mommy and daddy only got a small taste :( was exactly like I thought it would be though, thank you!!

This turned out great. My grandpa used to make us pancakes like this but he first fried apples with butter, cinnamon and sugar then poured the pancake batter on top, baked it and served it with sour cream. I made this version for Christmas morning and it was just the way we remembered it.

Really good, reminds me of yorkshire pudding. Mine didn't puff up as nicely as the picture, but it may be because the oven wasn't hot enough when I put the pan in.

This is going to be a regular in our home. I made 2 pans to feed all of us, and hubby still wanted more. Tasted like french toast. Very easy as well! We had ours with powderedd sugar and syrup - perfect.

I loved this recipe. I was looking for a simple pancake mix when I ran across this recipe. It was so easy and was yummy. I served it with sliced bananas and turkey bacon. My son said it reminded him of crepes and the next time I make it, I should bake it then slice it so I could wrap strawberries, bananas and whip cream it it and serve it like crepes. I just might try that the next time. Great recipe - thank you!

Aunt Edith knows her pancakes!!!! I fried sausage links, then sauteed them with apple, cherries, and a little green onion. Topped the pancake with above mix and a little maple syrup. Good stuff. I'll probably only use half the salt next time.
