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

my kids go through 3-4 batches of these and they are so fast and easy to make that it's never an issue! Such a great find.

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.

This was too difficult for me. I ended up just burning the batter on the pan and I couldnt flip it. Probably is good for experienced cooks.

The flavor of these pancakes is really great, but I think I should have let the batter sit for about 30 minutes before making them. The latter cakes had a better texture than the first ones. If you make these, make sure to use medium to medium-low heat and wait until the surface is no longer shiny before attempting to flip them. Also, the thinnest spatula you can find is a must! Finally, wiping the pan after every pancake comes out helps me out a lot, so you don't get uneven cooking from leftover bits of butter/oil/cooking spray.

My German grandmother used to make these for me when I was little. They are definitely different from traditional American pancakes -- nice, thin, and light. Same recipe as Oma's! Thanks you!

The flavor of the pancakes were delicious just like the ones my Oma made for me when I was a kid. I would have to agree with some of the other reviews on the servings. This recipe only made 5 pancakes (although they were large the light texture was hardly enough for 4 servings). I will double the batch the next time I make them. I also added a dash of vanilla & cinnamon to the batter before cooking and filled them with chocalate Nutella (from a jar) and fresh strawberries and bananas. This is a perfect dessert.

This was very good and reminded me of my mother standing over the stove cooking me crepes when I was a child. I loved them and she couldn't cook them fast enough! I used the orange sauce for crepes, which I obtained from this site to pour over them. Delicious.

This was a great recipe. I have a great deal of experience flipping pancakes (was a breakfast chef for quite some time), so I had no problems with the cooking process. I was worried the batter was too runny but tried it anyway, they came out perfect. I'd never had german pancakes till now but I definitely will again!
