Have you ever found a great recipe online and then later when you wanted it, you just couldn't remember where it was located? This is my method of hanging on to our family recipes and others too good to lose. You may have to scroll all the way down for the archives and link sections.

included this gem for German Pancakes in a Mug  (Note from me we used to have these with fruit and whipped cream or powdered sugar)

Have you ever had German Pancakes?

Well if you haven't, they are amazing. They are light and fluffy and buttery and the edges are a little crispy. Basically, they are perfect. The past few mornings I have been craving them really badly, but I didn't want to make the whole recipe just for myself. So with Rick from Bittersweet as my inspiration, I decided to make them in a mug! (I hope you don't mind that I copycatted you, Rick!)

German Pancakes in a Mug
A large mug: mine was 4x4"
(you could try making it in a smaller mug but I would cut the recipe down a bit)
1 1/2 eggs (or 2 egg whites, you decide)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter

First, heat your oven to 450 degrees. Then, whip eggs in a blender until they are thick and lemon-colored. Then add the milk, flour, and salt; blend until they are all mixed in. Put the butter in your mug and heat in the warming oven until completely melted. Then, pour the batter into the mug. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it raises really high and the edges are golden brown. (Since it's in a mug, you may want to poke the middle with a fork just to make sure the middle is cooked.)

If you're too lazy to make this syrup, you can always use regular maple syrup.
Syrup:
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons corn startch
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Food coloring (optional, but much more fun)

Mix everything together in a little pan and stir until it thickens and boils like nobody's business. (I made mine pink :)


And WALA! (sic)

Heavenly goodness!

These are also really yummy with fruit!


If you'd like to make regular German Pancakes for more than one person...
