| GERMAN EIERKUCHEN (EGG PANCAKES) | |
|
2 cups milk 4 eggs 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups flour Preheat a hot griddle or large skillet (cast iron is best). Brush with oil, butter, lard or shortening. Beat eggs with 1/2 cup of the milk; add flour, salt and beat until smooth. Add remaining milk and beat until smooth. Pour about a cup of batter into the center of the hot pan and tip it in all directions to spread the batter. When the pancake is brown on the bottom and the edges develop larger bubbles flip the pancake and bake the other side for about the same amount of time, or until cooked through in the center. Stack pancakes with a small pat of butter between them and keep warm in a 200°F oven until all the pancakes are baked and you're ready to serve! Serve with honey or brown sugar syrup or fresh fruit preserves and melted butter. Variation: If you like vanilla, add a teaspoon of pure vanilla to the batter. Submitted by: CM | |

My mother made EIERKUCHEN every christmas morning when I was growing up. And they were so good. I am so glad that I found the recipe. I am going to try to make them. But I do need to buy a cast iron fry pan.

Eierkuchen is traditionally served with applesauce and cinnamon sugar in Germany.
My kids love it that way. As do they potato pancakes (Reibekuchen).

Made these today. Came out ok. Never saw any bubbles though. A few got burnt waiting for the bubbles. I used a cast iron pan. Tried large pan first but they were too thin. Had to use smaller pan.

Great recipe. They taste exactly like those my mother used to make. They're so good I now make them every Saturday for my wife and mother-in-law, have made them for family when they visit as well as for some friends we invited for breakfast.
They all rave about them. I adjust the ingredients based on how many I'm cooking for and have never had a problem.
I never dreamed that I would find such a recipe or that I could prepare batter, cook them, etc.

That's how I make my Eierkuchen as well-my kids love them. We spread applesauce on top or bake them with Apple slices and sprinkle sugar over the Eierkuchen.

Dianna Reimers (United States) says:
This is like the German pancakes my grandma made us except she used enough fat in the skillet that they had a lacy crispy edge on them. If not getting bubbles around edge, add a little milk. Batter may be a tad too thick.

Mandy (Nebraska) says:
We've been making these for the past few weekends now and absolutely LOVE them!! They are to die for. I recommend adding a good amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan if you want them more bubbly and crispy on edges like fried dough - YUM.

Pat (Connecticut) says:
These egg pancakes are just as my mother made them, but we would fry 4 strips of bacon cut into pieces about 1-inch long till almost crispy then pour batter over bacon, then cook till done.

Michelle (California) says:
Our recipe is revised. My great grandmother used to make this for entire family!!! However, the best part for us is adding a whole pound of bacon and the grease! That's how grandma did it.

Tried it with butter, cinnamon and dusted icing sugar. Yum!

Bill Ploth (Missouri) says:
My grandmother made these when i visited her in a small Iowa town. We'd pick fresh blackberries from her back yard which she would make into a sauce. She then would make the eierkuchen give one at a time to me as she made them first with butter then a sprinkling of sugar and then the sauce. She would roll them up and pour more sauce over them. Fantastically delicious. Now that I have found the recipe I can try to bring back some great memories.
