German pancakes- a perfect weekend breakfast dish

Three plates of german pancakes, dressed with powdered sugar and raspberries.
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for great weekend breakfast ideas. I want something that maybe takes a little more time than you have during the week, but won't take all day to make either. It also has to be something that tastes great and is suitably impressive.

I think I've found a new one to try for this weekend. A few days ago, while perusing the baking blogs, I came across this post from Bakers' Banter. While it starts out talking about whole grain pancakes, the post goes on to give a step by step, pictorial recipe for German pancakes. I seem to recall having seen them in a cookbook before I really got into cooking, but since I didn't cook I promptly forgot about them.

After reading this article, and seeing how good these pancakes look, I am definitely making them this weekend. What about you? If you try this recipe out, I'd love to hear about it!

Although I have more commonly seen them called David Eyre's Pancakes, or Dutch Baby.

My mom gave it to me when I got my own place, a sort of passing of the torch (it was hard for her to give up that 100-year-old perfectly seasoned pan!).

My skillet is small, just nine inches, so I only ever make German pancakes for two. You can't really make them in batches in one pan, since it really should be cold to start with.

I've made dutch baby apple pancakes (saute apples in butter/brown sugar/cinnamon in the pan first) with great success.

Tried the above recipe, but used soy milk (all we had in the fridge).

The bad news: Completely flat, zero puff!
The good news: The family loved 'em and wants to save the recipe ;)
