“GERMAN EIERKUCHEN (EGG PANCAKES)” IS IN:

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.

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?

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!
