Monster Pancakes

When I was younger, a lady in my neighborhood held a summer cooking class for some of the neighborhood children.  I didn't attend it, but my older brother did and this was one of the recipes he brought home.  These are really "German" pancakes, but because of the way the batter "grows," we always called them Monster Pancakes.

MONSTER PANCAKES

What you need:
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
dash of salt
4 Tbsp butter

Beat all ingredients together, except butter, in a blender.  Melt butter in dripper pan (I place mine in my 9x13 dish and then put it in the over while it is preheating).  Pour in egg mixture.  Bake at 400° for 25 minutes.  DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR WHILE BAKING.  When finished baking, let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

My family used to eat this with powdered sugar on top and maple syrup.  And, recently we tried it with fresh raspberries and whipped cream, which was also really yummy.

I make these all of the time! My recipe is a little teeny bit different (no sugar added and not as much butter), but the result is the same. When I was little, we called them "Mountains and Valleys." I never knew they were actually German Pancakes until after I got married! :D
