So, I was thinking of what to eat for lunch the other day. Elephant ears like you get at the Faire sounded good and I was glancing at results on Google. Oddly enough though, some German pancake pics popped up among them. Having recently moved my pantry is in a minimalist state, but I could make either with ingredients I do have.
I am surprised at how many names this goes by. I usually think of Dutch baby and that is how I see them on menu in restaurants. I knew that they were also basically German pancakes. But I saw several other names including hootenanny. Hm. And naturally, there are assorted and just slightly different versions of the recipe floating about. I had seen several in the the past, but I came across some that were not preheating the pan/skillet and melting butter at the same time before baking. One even did a 13x9 size for her family.
I went with a 3 egg version and had to hand mix. It came out pretty good, but I missed the lemon and powdered sugar lightly dusted on top before serving. Perhaps I will be able to get those next shopping run.
You totally should try these. Easy to make and tasty to eat!
