My husband wanted me to find a recipe like his mom's german pancakes and he loved these. I used a non-stick pan and I was liberal with the butter. I only had one tear a little.

Very tasty, but the execution is extremely delicate and difficult.

These tasted great, but I also had trouble getting them to form into a round shape. I have a small frying pan that is great for making one pancake at a time, so I used it and found it was much easier to get that round shape. I also used 1/4 cup of flour instead of the amount suggested in the recipe to mellow out some of that eggy taste. After the alterations I believe that these are the best pancakes I have ever had. Thanks for the recipe.

These pancakes tasted fine but I found them very hard to create. They were extremely runny and hard to control in the skillet.

This is a delicious recipe. I remember having these as a little girl. Little hard to flip without tearing it up. I am sure it just takes a little practice. Thanks!

This is very difficult to make. The serving for four does not make enough for four, maybe three. You have to pour enough to make it a little thick in the pan so you can turn it without it breaking. I would suggest using a very small frying pan. The low rating is predominately due to the degree of difficulty in cooking this. Flavor was ok

My Oma used to make this for me as a child, I misplaced her recipe and I tried this and it fit the bill perfectly! My german grandparents used to call this "polojinka" I make mine with Rosehip Jam in the center....if you are ever in a german store grab a jar of this jam you wont regret it. Thank you for replacing her recipe for me so I can enjoy it again with my family.

This is definitely a German version of pancakes. For those who crave rich, thick buttermilk pancakes, this recipe isn't for you! I got kind of nervous seeing how runny the batter was, so I cheated and doubled the flour amount. I also only had whole wheat flour, which made it gritty. I also didn't want to use a blender to mix the ingredients, so I kept at it by hand. The cakes were very flat in shape, so I just made several. Once covered with syrup and butter, it did the trick OK. But I doubt I'll make this recipe again. In short, don't listen to me. Be your own judge. Maybe it had to do with my rebellious nature to not follow the instructions!

Being a Catholic, we of course never ate meat on Friday's. This was a dish that my german mom made every few months on those evenings. My brother's and I loved it and certainly still do. Sometimes we used maple syrup and others we spread jam on the pancake, rolled it up and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Always an occasional treat, whether it be a quickie dinner or a leisurely breakfast. My kids love it just as much as I did. Thanks for the memories, Deborah......

if you have trouble flipping the pancakes, try running a toothpick around the outside of the pancake and using it to grab the pancake. Then you can use your fingers to flip it.

I love German pancakes and have looked for a recipe for them for ages. This is so easy that it is hard to believe how good they are. Remember though, the first pancake to be cooked has to be thrown away. (Really, it does!) When the pancake is cooked and put on the place, spread a little butter over it and then fold it over itself twice. Top with a little more butter, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Fantastic.

I really liked how this tasted and it was easy to make. However, I had a hard time flipping these! When I'd get it right, they turned out great. But when I couldn't flip them (they are very thin), they were a mess. I think I might need a wider spatula or something to make these work.

I use this recipe each year for a New Year's Day brunch. Adults only attend and I platter all kinds of cut fruits with a simple syrup, powdered sugar and shaved chocolates. Everyone can pick their toppings and it is a big hit!
