Dad's German Pancakes
These crepes are brushed with lemon juice, sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar, and rolled. Serve them with jam or maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1⅓ cup milk
- cooking spray
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp cinnamon-sugar
- jam or maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, mix eggs, flour, salt, sugar, and milk. Blend until smooth.
- Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add ¼ cup batter and tilt and tip skillet to evenly distribute the batter on the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sides of the pancakes/crepes look dry. Flip (like a boss, or with a spatula - your call). Cook for about 30 seconds. Remove the crepe to a place. Continue with the remaining batter.
- Brush the finished crepe (the one on the plate) with lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon-sugar. Roll. Continue with the remaining crepes as they finish cooking.
- Serve with jam or maple syrup. (Or Nutella!)
Notes
*As you cook, the skillet will likely get too hot. Turn the heat down and adjust cooking time as needed so that the crepes are cooked completely, but not crispy.
