Mennonite German Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Set aside.
• Heat a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and brush the inside with the shortening. Pour in the batter and bake for 15 minutes.
• Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. and continue baking until puffed and golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes more. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the pancake. Serve immediately in the skillet with maple syrup, marinated berries, or glazed apples and pears.
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently until syrupy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.
• Peel, core, and cut both the apples and pears into 3/4-inch wedges. In a medium bowl, toss the fruit with the lemon juice.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon sticks and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the fruit, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until glazed, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the orange juice, and cook until the fruit is easily pierced with a paring knife, about 1 minute more. If desired, add the Calvados. If cooking on a gas burner, carefully tip the pan toward the flame to flambe the alcohol; if cooking over an electric element, hold a long match near the mixture. Swirl the pan over the heat until the flame subsides. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place the eggs, sugar, flour and milk into the container of a blender. Process until smooth on low speed.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour batter about 1/4 cup at a time (or more for larger pancakes). Tilt pan to achieve a round shape. Heat until golden, then flip and brown on the other side. Serve immediately with syrup, or fresh berries and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Mix all together with a mixer or by hand until free of lumps.
• Spray frying pan with "Pam" and heat over high heat until hot.
• Reduce heat and pour approx 1/3 cup of batter in center and tilt to cover entire bottom of pan.
• When small bubbles form and bottom begins to brown, flip and cook other side.
• We like to eat these sprinkled with sugar and rolled up.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Blend first five ingredients in a blender. Be sure to smooth out any flour lumps.
• Blend in butter a little at a time.
• Grease muffin tins well and fill slightly less than half-full.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. The crater will form on its own.
• Add your favorite toppings and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Steps:

• If you make more than one pancake, make each one individually.
• Stir with a fork only leaving lumps in batter.
• Pour into a metal cake pan that has about 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine melted into it. (I like to use metal cake pans with completely vertical sides as it works better than glass pans.).
• Bake at 350 degrees about 15-20 minutes. I sometimes bake them slightly longer until the puffs are golden brown.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. You may eat it this way or top with the wonderful strawberry freezer jam, warmed up, like we do at our house. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 400°F.
• Put margarine in a 9x13-inch pan and put in oven.
• In a medium bowl mix milk, flour, salt, and eggs.
• When oven is at 400°F take out pan and pour in mixture.
• Cook for 20-25 minutes or until fluffy.

Steps:

• Scald milk.
• Stir in sugar, salt and shortening then cool to lukewarm.
• Heat water to 115-120 degrees farenheit.
• Place water in bowl of mixer, then sprinkle the yeast and stir until dissolved.
• Add milk to yeast mixture.
• Add flour and beat until smooth.
• Cover and let rise until double in bulk (this should take about 40 minutes).
• Stir mixture till"punched down".
• Bake on medium heat as you would any pancake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lightly beat eggs, then add in sifted flour, cornmeal, buttermilk, and milk. Beat 5 minutes (you can use a blender to mix everything if you would like).
• Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish in the oven. Pour the batter into the pan, spread around, and bake for 25 minutes until lightly browned.
• Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Top pancakes with whipped cream and berries.

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well.
• Combine milk and egg in a small bowl; stir well. Add to flour mixture, stirring well with a wire whisk.
• Coat a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Remove pan from heat, and pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin film. Cook about 1 minute.
• Lift edge of pancake carefully with a spatula to test for doneness (pancake is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from pan and the underside is lightly browned). Turn pancake over, and cook an additional 30 seconds.
• Place pancake on a towel, and let cool.
• Repeat procedure with remaining batter. Stack pancakes between single layers of wax paper or paper towels to prevent sticking.
• Spread 1 tablespoon preserves over each pancake, and roll up. Garnish with orange slices and raspberries, if desired. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix everything and let rest for about 5-10 minutes.
• Heat a little vegetable oil in a fry pan.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of batter in the pan and fry until golden brown on each side.
• Serve warm or cold with jelly or any kind of preserve you like.
• Also good just sprinkled with a little powdered sugar.
