These are just like the pancakes my liebe mother made for us when I was a kid! I used ricotta cheese mixed with vanilla and fresh fruit to fill the pancakes... they were delicious!

The taste is great, but the creation of these things is too hard! I made 4 servings and it was too hard to flip them and this isn't my first time making them. It also wasn't enough to feed four, just my husband and 3 year old daughter. I had to make a new batch for myself, but I used another recipe.

This was a great omelet! For nearly 45 years I enjoyed German pancakes that seemed to have more something in them then these eggy culprits. These pancakes were tasty but not what I remember. I never got the recipe before my mother passed away, so I will keep looking.

This recipe was very good but it was so much like a crepe. Same method of cooking. I followed it exactly. It's just a little bit thicker. I will stick to my crepes. But thank you for a good recipe. Was worth trying.

This recipe is made exactly how I was brought up to make german pancakes, we love to put jam on them (lightly) and roll em up... my son is a diabetic and this is a good easy diabetic friendly way to cure a sweet tooth. We just use sugar free jam and it's enough sweet to save the day! Thanks for posting this recipe! Anna

Easy and delicious!! I did run a toothpick around the edges to loosen it before flipping (as suggested by another reviewer). I used a small skillet also and sprayed pam in it for just the first pancake. I topped mine with honey and powdered sugar! Yummy!

These pancakes were excellent! The taste was so much sweeter and lighter than normal pancakes. I added just a pinch of salt to the batter and the only issue I had was sticking when I tried to flip them, but by the last one I got the hang of it. I put a thin layer of grape jam in the middle and sprinkle of powdered sugar on top and my 3 year old ate them up - he is normally so picky!

YUMMY! These are wonderful! The ONLY thing I did different was doubled the recipe and added 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract. Made the whole house smell delicious.

when you beat the eggwhites stiff and fold them into the rest of the batter, they will become very fluffy. also try to add some vanilla or rum. a pinch of salt. i am german and i grew up eating them with applesauce, jam, nutella or fresh fruits and cream

This recipe is okay, but I've had better German pancakes. Also, I had to add about three extra tablespoons of flour to the batter. They were practically impossible to flip without the extra flour.

These are almost exactly what my German grandma used to make for us. We would eat them with butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice. It takes me back to a little girl, spending the weekend at my grandma's house.

My mother (who is German) always made these pancakes on the weekend for us. They are wonderful to have with preserves - though my brother loved to have his with chocolate syrup. This is exactly the same recipe!

My German grandmother used to make me these on the weekends for dinner. The flavor of this recipe was great! The smaller pan you use to cook these, the better. They were extremely difficult to flip! I added a little extra flour to make them thicker, which made them easier to flip.
