This is a very good recipe. However, there are a few things that people don't understand about puffed oven pancakes. They don't really taste a lot like griddle pancakes. They have a more eggy texture and flavor, so if you don't like eggs, don't try this recipe. One suggestion, this recipes calls for too much butter. I only added two tbs. and I baked it in a glass pan. This allowed the pancake to get crispy on the top and bottom. More butter can be added after it is baked (if desired).

This was very good. I didn't know what to expect, but it came out very good. Per other reviews, I took out 1 egg and used much less butter. I also added some vanilla extract and some brown sugar. I just like that combo in breakfast foods. It was pretty sweet, especially with added syrup. But my husband, who has a big sweet tooth loved it. So it passes with flying colors.

I'm sorry to say but this recipe ended up being a complete disaster for me. My boyfriend doubled the ingredients because he figured this would only be big enough for one person. 4 eggs for one person, or 8 eggs for too people is a lot and not good for you. It also had way too much butter and the entire pancake was floating in liquidy butter which made it crispy on top but mushy on the inside. I am also very sorry to say that we could not eat it. It tasted nothing like a pancake but more like a very thick omelette and very buttery.

I went into this without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised. This was unlike anything I have ever had for breakfast. I followed the directions as stated but next time I will cut back a little on the butter. It was good with syrup over it. I will make this again as a treat occasionally.

I was wanting pancakes this morning, but had no baking powder in the house. I found this recipe and even though it's not a "pancake" in the traditional sense, it was wonderful - reminded me alot of french toast and bread pudding - will DEFINATELY make it again!

This is a european style oven pancake most often referred to as a German style oven pancake (basically it is a big thick crepe. My whole family loves this one and there are a couple pick eaters in the mix. I have made several of this type in the past and what makes this simple recipe the best is the cinnamon. Top it with whatever you like. Anything from pancake syrup to berries. Very easy prep, even kids can do it.

super good pancake, I have made oven pancakes before but this was much better. The pancake here was a little thicker (custard like)which was nice for a change. I added 1tsp of cinn. just because i like it, also added ? about 1/4 tsp of almond extract. Thanks for the recipe.

I was really excited about trying this recipe. Unfortunately me and my family hated it. None of us are bread pudding fans. I should have read the reviews before trying this recipe.

My husband adores german pancakes, andhe loved this recipe. I hate eggs and I really liked it, too. It was more like a bread pudding, next time I will probably split it between two cake pans and see how that turns out. I preferred it with some vanilla, and then sprinkled liberally with lemon juice and powdered sugar. Yum!

Although, it was not pancake texture, my husband loved it and reminded me that with apples it would be identicle to the "Big Apple" served at a famous breakfast chain restaurant. My 10 yr old didn't like it. I added vanilla and a little sugar in the blender. WILL make it again, maybe with fruit topping!

This recipes tasted really good, but it wasn't the "pancake texture" I was hoping for. It reminded me more of a bread pudding. I may try it again, but with one less egg.
