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!

These were a real treat with butter, sugar, and cinnamon rolled inside. The texture and taste were just like my German grandmother used to make... I made them on a griddle and it took me a couple of tries to get the shape right - but they sure were easy to turn!

I had made these pancakes years ago, but lost the recipe. I tried others that were baked in the oven, but we prefer this one. Thanks! I usually serve with apple slices that I cook with a little butter, cinnamon and sugar. Place the warm apples on half of the pancake and cover with the other half. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Yum! Tonight I had more pancakes than apples, so I made rhubarb sauce with rhubarb from our garden. I used that in place of the apples and we liked it even better. The sweet pancake and tart rhubarb was a real taste treat! You must try this.

Now I've lived in Germany and they know the difference between a pancake and a crepe or blintz. Very nice crepes, but not like American pancakes.

It needs a pinch of salt, to balance it. I love adding real vanilla bean extract. Fill it with creek yogurt and drizzle some maple syrup. Serve with fresh fruit... and the mornings will never be the same.

delicious! I'm still quite a novice at cooking/food preparation of any kind, and found these to be easy and fun. The 'toothpick method' for flipping the thin 'cakes works very well.

Fabulous! My tips are to add about a 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract, and you can cut out about 150 calories by using Splenda instead of sugar, you can't tell the difference! Also, I stuffed the inside with hot strawberries in a Butter Lite syrup. My favorite pancake recipe by far!

My mom tells the story of how when she and my dad were first married (she's German, he was an American GI stationed in Munich), he asked her to make him some pancakes. She knew only how to make German pancakes. When she put the plate in front of him, he looked at it, asked "What's this?" and ate them all. This is almost exactly the way my mom taught me to make German pancakes. When they are hot off the pan I sprinkle the inside w/cinnamon and sugar, roll them up and serve them with chilled canned peaches spooned over them. We eat these almost every Sunday as our evening meal.

My mom makes these (she is German). So far this is the easiest recipe to remember and make. When I would ask my mom how to do it she would say, "eggs-flour-milk, it's easy." But she never used measurements! She just knew how to do it. So my attempts always came out like rubbery discs. One thing I would like to say about Barbarella's recipe is that those tablespoons of flour should be on the heaping side. I also added a few grinder spins of rose petal infused salt. The thing about these is you can make them as fancy or as plain as you like, use the leftovers sliced up in soup, make them savory or sweet...try filling them with leftover cranberry sauce! The trick to flipping these in the pan is to wait until the uncooked portion looks dry, loosen the sides all around the skillet, then with a wide spatula flip. A non-stick pan helps, but my mother made these things in a cast iron skillet!
