-Growing up my mom would include them in the breakfast menu from time to time. (I really wish I knew if she always made breakfast for the family or if it was just something that happened as her children got older. Being the youngest it is all I remember.) I've always eaten them with powdered sugar and syrup. How's that for starting your day with a sugar rush!
-As a missionary in a foreign country you quickly learn from your first companion what food staples are readily available and therefore what your menu will include. German pancakes quickly became our Sunday night standard. I have fond memories of eating German pancakes in tiny kitchens in Vilnius and Klaipeda.
-Now as a mother (that does not get up before her children to prepare breakfast since one who will remain unnamed is almost always up before 6:00 a.m.) I do include German pancakes in our menu from time to time. They most often show up on a Sunday night when I don't feel like preparing a big meal. The kids love them with powdered sugar and syrup (who wouldn't) and we all enjoy our sugar high for the rest of the evening.
We made this batch a couple of Sundays ago (3.16.08) when Blake was at a conference in Phoenix. Didn't really feel like making a big meal that night and the kids definitely didn't mind.

I still use your german pancake recipe and it's the best. I also have fond memories of eating this yummy comfort food with our home made syrup thanks to maple-line from Hootie and Munch.
thanks for posting the recipe--I'll have to try that (I can use all the help i can get in the cooking dept.!)
Kara - I love German pancakes! I used to make them every Christmas morning until Mike finally told me he didn't really like them... ouch. So now I never get them. They are the best!
