I used 4 Tb. of butter and it was plenty. I baked it for 20 mins. in my cast iron skillet. Very impressive and delicious! Thank you!

This was easy and fun to make. The sides of the "bowl" rose up so high in my oven, the tops were touching the coils. It's very entertaining to see. I sliced up strawberries to put in the "bowl", but I found just the lemon juice and powdered sugar added the perfect flavor. I will note that there was a shallow pool of butter in the bottom of my eggy pancake, which didn't bother me. I like buttery pastry, but I wanted to mention it.

My family has been making this for years and with the lemon and powdered sugar. Everyone loves it. We have found that they cook best in a buttered glass pie pan and each person gets their own plate size pancake....

My kids loved this version, especially with the lemon juice and sugar. I did the recipe x 1.5 and used a 9x13 pyrex and an 8x8 pyrex. They fit well.

This recipe is perfect! We live at 7600 feet and the puff still works. I believe the key is to use an iron pan, mix the eggs and milk first, then sift in the flour. We used to have to drive an hour to a breakfast place that made these, but now we just wait till Sunday and make them.... much better than the restaurant!

Excellent recipe, much like the one that my Mom used to make. I made two batches, one like the original here (with a tsp. of added vanilla extract and one additional egg) and the second with 12 cut up sausage links, whole chopped green pepper, 1/4 chopped onion, and a small can of olives. Once out of the oven, served the "loaded" one with option of salsa and sliced jalapenos as a topping. I would recommend adding diced tomatoes to the mix as well as cheese as an additional topping option.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was really easy to make and the lemon and powdered sugar made it amazing. My husband said it almost taste like french toast.

I liked it... it reminds me of a mixture between a pancake and french toast.. the lemon juice and powdered sugar on top gave it a nice sour contrast... very good... will make again.. and possible divide the batter between two round pans.... good recipes I am glad i tried them....

I have given this recipe many attempts, always convinced I am doing something wrong as I have read so many good reviews on this site and others. I find it to be dense and egg-y, more like a heavy crepe than a pancake. Maybe that's what a German pancake is but this failed in my attempt to find a Weekend Family favorite. My kids wouldn't finish it even with powdered sugar or syrup.
