I received an easy and interesting-sounding recipe for German pancakes this morning from Allrecipes.com. Piper and I jumped on it of course, and it proved to be a really pleasant breakfast dish. I didn't know what to expect as I had never even heard of German pancakes before, and here is how I would describe it: A mellow, dense, filling, and somehow sweet (although I don't know how as the recipe doesn't call for any sugar) breakfast that oddly resembles a combination of flan, quiche, and French toast. I may rename it Germench Fluichoast (pronounced DJUR-MENCH, FLEESH-OST).
First of all you must realize that it is far too early to be doing anything on a Sunday morning besides popping the bubbles surrounding your head while aimlessly wandering through the house with your first mug of coffee.
