![]() A fun way to make any morning festive, not just a birthday morning.This funfetti pancakes recipe is simple to make and adds a cozy homemade taste. Pfannkuchen was a frequent visitor to my lunch plate ( a ran home from school for lunch, then ran back) as well as any meal on the weekend, and the stand-in when the folks ate the only meal I could not bring myself to share in, cooked kale.Of course, you can use store bought funfetti pancake mix in a pinch and add extra sprinkles, but there is something magical about making pancakes from scratch. This is looking like a lot of Pfannkuchen which will lead to more of me if I am not careful. How much baking soda one can use before popping out as a flavor may depend on the brand, age, origin, fry pan material etc. I will try with a 1/4-tsp of baking soda next time, or will substitute baking powder, or might do an eighth of each. These were fluffy and light relative to the usual product of my crepe pan. A little salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar later I had delicious (per the experts) crepes. Without sugar our young surrogate nieces or perhaps grand-nieces would render them to the dust bin, and I found the flavor of baking soda to be present. This evening I made up a full recipe and followed all guidance to the “T”. The outcome was consistent with historical data though a bit fluffier. I made up a half recipe and tossed in a minuscule amount of baking soda, and held back on the water, the batter was getting runnier than I normally have it. Ooops… but I never saw baking soda go in the batter, so I never did it. ![]() But a determinative rezep fur deutsche Pfannkuchen, na dass muss mann probieren. ![]() I’ve been winging it for few years (probably about 45) with seldom a flop. Or you can also cut them in stripes and add them to a vegetable fond and tada, there is your “Flädle-Suppe”, another German treat. Then she will cut them into smaller pieces and feed them as a snack – dipped in sugar and cinnamon. You might think there is no such thing as leftover pancakes but a smart German mother will always bake more than needed and let the leftover cool on a plate. It makes a huge difference in the taste and also butter doesn’t get as hot as oil does, so there is less of a danger to burn them. One important thing though: When you fry the pancakes do not use oil! Instead, use butter. Next it goes into the oven for a bit and the result is delicious like cheesecake! I will post the complete recipe some day soon. I share a recipe made with pancakes, salmon, cream cheese, and arugula someday soon …Ī pancake specialty is the “ Palatschinken” that my Grandmother did: She fille the pancakes with a sweetened Quark and raisins, then rolled them and put them into a casserole. Some like to fill it with mushrooms and bacon … there are endless possibilities! You can also put cooked asparagus and a white sauce on it and fold it in half and eat it. In summer it is a special treat to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of your pancake and add some chocolate sauce. My personal favorite is the mix of cinnamon and sugar and some apple sauce as a side. We then roll the pancake and eat it like a wrap. We spread jam on the pancake or a mix of sugar and cinnamon. Syrup is not the common topping on German pancakes, neither is butter. Here is another version of “ The Runaway Pancake“. End of story – Bon appetite!Here is a different version of the story. And this way the story goes on until the pancake meets some really hungry kids (who happen to have the same names as my kids) who are lost in the woods and he feels so sorry for them, that he decides to sacrifice himself. There he meets different animals like a bear, a wolf, a fox … and they all say “Come here, big fat pancake, I want to eat you” but the pancake answers: ” Oh no, I have already run from three women, the bear and the wolf … and I will run from you, too!”. ![]() It jumps out of the pan, through the window and runs right into the woods. In a nutshell the story is about a pancake, baked by three women. In my family I have made it a tradition to tell the story of the very big, fat pancakes (no offense) to my little ones while I bake them – and they can never hear enough of that story, because – just like my pancakes – I vary the story every time. They are a lunch and therefore a complete (sweet) meal at lunch. Pancakes are not a breakfast in my country. We love them thin but sometimes we add apple slices or sugar plums to the pan or banana slices – in that case we need to make them a little thicker. I suggest you try different styles and come to your own conclusion. Some people like their pancakes thick, some like them very thin and others like them in between. ![]() Works too, so if you have already a bottle of beer open … at noon … in the kitchen … I am not judging … -) Instead of baking soda, Germans mostly use a little beer or just sparkling water in their pancake dough. ![]()
