Five Stars for keeping the lost art of Eihrkuchen alive! Husband's grandmother was all German. She always had bacon fried but the secret she taught me was to use at least 8 eggs and just barely scramble them then pour half qt of whole milk in. Then the flour was measured on two heaping cooking spoons and slightly packed. Flop the flour onto the milk and eggs. Fry in non-stick pan or trusted cast iron. Using the big spoon you grab a small amount of flour with the milk and eggs and lay it on the hot pan. Supposed to be lumps that you flick open with your trusted spatula. Flip when it bubbles. A lost art and not many know it. We had butter and fresh strawberry freezer jam. It takes practice but there is always willing testers. Thank you!

My grandmother made something very like this, but she cut them into little pieces in the skillet before she served them with grape jelly. For some reason she called this "eye poker". Has anyone heard of something like this?

My grandmother always made eierkuchen for me. Bill Ploth, this is a great memory.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eierkuchen is traditionally served with applesauce and cinnamon sugar in Germany.

My kids love it that way. As do they potato pancakes (Reibekuchen).

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.

My family loves this recipe. Even the cat snagged a piece and it chowing down. Haha. YUMMY!!!
