Modified Gigantic German Pancake....

I originally posted this on my Tahlequah Tasty Tidbits Blog here on blogger, but I wanted to make it again for the hubby, so I am gonna post it here on the Creatively Twisted Blog so you may enjoy it.

The book pictured, "Quick and Easy Family Baking, Cakes, Cookies, Pies & Breads, that anyone can make" As I mentioned before the book does hold up to its title.

As the title of this post says I have modified the Gigantic German Pancake recipe to fit what I have in my kitchen.

You can find the Gigantic German Pancake on page 8 of the book pictured above.

Gigantic German Pancake:

 

1/2 c. Flour (I used a generic All Purpose)

 

3 eggs. slightly beaten

 

1/2 c. milk (Normally I would use a lactose free 2% by Hiland, but for this I had to sub a 1/2c. water for the milk today.)

 

2T butter, melted (I used lactose free blue bonnet, and added it to my mix, instead of putting it on the side as the recipe ask.)

 

Powdered Sugar ( I would normally use it, but I used left over apple pie filling, so that accounted for my sweet factor today.)

 

Maple Syrup (I used a pancake syrup for this that I had in my pantry.)

 

*I used left over pie filling to add a kick to the pancake, and it happened to be apple, but any fruit or spice to your taste. I have used frozen fruit before also, and it comes out yummy. This is the first time for the left over canned pie filling though. I used a little warm water to hose off some of the goop from the pie filling, which made it easier to cut up.

 

Instructions:

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Beat flour and eggs in a bowl.

 

Stir remaining ingredients and 1/4 tsp salt(I added the salt at the very end before the oven and just stirred it in.)

 

Pour into sprayed 9 inch pie pan(I used an oval corning dish sprayed with butter spray).

 

Bake for 20 minutes

 

Pancake will puff into big bubbles while baking.

 

Cut into wedges and dust with powdered sugar and serve with melted butter and syrup. Serves 3-4.

 

 

 

In the end, even with the water substitution the final product came out great, and the hubby even said it was mushy enough for him without his teeth in, and he did not have to blitz it up, which is Great!

 

So with or without milk, it will be up to you. Just know you need at least water to get this made, when you are out of milk.

 

Enjoy. You could make a few different ones and freeze them, and when you have guests, get it out and heat it up a little and serve.
