Very good. I cooked it as is with no expectations of what a German pancake is. It was similar to french toast, but not "too eggy" or "thick" as some others described. It did raise a good 2-3 inches above the edges of the baking dish. Looked funny, but did not impact taste. Some children ate it with syrup, others with lemon juice and cinnamon sugar.

I added 4tsp sugar, 1 good dash of cinnamon, and some vanilla, and it was delicious! I also took the suggestion of putting it in at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and it came out perfect. I will definitely make this again!

I have made this recipe for years. The only difference is that I bake mine at 450 degrees. This quantity will make two pancakes baked in cast iron skillets. I think the cast iron (and the high cooking temp.) is essential for getting the right texture. Just make sure you use a well-seasoned pan and spray it liberally with cooking spray. I eat my pancake with honey. I have yet to find a child that doesn't love these!

Brings back wonderful memories of my German Grandma. We used to switch between syrup, yummy home made blueberry, raspberry or strawberry and powdered sugar. Keeps it interesting that way.

I've never tried German pancakes before so I had no idea what to expect. I only thought they were ok -- too eggy for my taste.

Yum! I just discovered these recently & we love them. I like this recipe because the pancake was more dense than another recipe I was using. I've made them following the recipe exactly & also adding 1t cinnamon, 1t vanilla & 2 T sugar, too. They're both good. Although, I have gotten better results warming the eggs in hot tap water for a few minutes & warming the milk slightly. I also bake it at 400 for 25 minutes in a cast iron skillet. I skipped the syrup because we like these best with butter & confectioners sugar. Great recipe!

I have made this recipe for years but I use 8 eggs and I use 3/4 of a cube of unsalted butter. Another way to make it is to snip 1/2 lb. of bacon into the bottom of your baking dish, put it in the 350 degree oven and cook it to your desired state of doneness. Then pour over the egg mixture and bake. Very good as well.

This is a great recipe, but my mom makes it truly fabulous with buttermilk syrup. mix 1 1/2 cups white sugar, 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup butter, 2 TBSP corn syrup and 1 tsp baking soda. Bring to a boil, cook for seven minutes, then stir in 2 tsps vanilla. YUMMY! It's perfect on these pancakes.

This is the perfect brunch food. Works equally well with syrup or sausage and hash browns. Super easy to make. I did notice mine starting to rise more on one side then the other so I turn the dish half way through cook time. Some women at my work were doing an little int'l food day so I made this. It didn't last 10 mins and I had 10 requests for the recipe. Half of them made it that weekend for their families and they all loved it. My teen son made it for me and then ate half of it. Truly great.

MmMmMm...! Wow! I love German pancakes! I still have them, and had them when I was a child, well, im still young, but I don't really know the recipe very well off of the top of my head, but the VERY best, is if you have fresh butter (homemade or store bought), homemade maple syrup & optional powdered sugar or whipping cream with fruit.

I make this often with the following changes. Add 1 tsp cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Use only 1 or 2 eggs and 3 tablespoons butter. I bake it in a 9x13 baking dish at 400 degrees for ~23 minutes. Grate nutmeg and dust top with powdered sugar after removing from the oven. My family loves this dish for breakfast, even my picky 2 year old! Often I substitute in up to 1/4 cup wheat germ for 1/4 cup of the flour (1/4 C wheat germ + 3/4 C flour). Sometimes I add a well-mashed banana to the batter. It comes out great every time, with some variation on the texture.

This is a familiar and loved recipe in my house. My best friend's mother used to make this for sleepovers, and it brings back lovely memories. I use 1/2 whole wheat flour, and the texture is still great!

Ok I never give bad reviews but I was bummed after I made this! I have made German pancakes before from this site but couldn't remember the name. After making this I realized there is no way this was the same recipe. This was very dense and almost dry because it was like solid egg. I just searched everywhere trying to figure out what I made before and finally found it. Big GErmans!! That, to me, was much better. It is about the same but only has 4 eggs and some lemon juice in it. I remember it really fluffing up and just tasting amazing. I had even made it with egg subsitute and still liked it, though not as much. I could this 2 stars because my daughter liked it but the other recipe was much more to my tastes.
