German Pancakes with Buttermilk Syrup

We used to eat German pancakes every now and then growing up and I always remember loving them.  I remember my mom having to make a couple because we would wolf them down.  These are a little different than I remember us eating as a kid but still so delicious.  I spent forever, searching through a bajillion recipes and finally found this one that looked yummy.



German Pancakes

Ingredients:

6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter, melted

Place eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender; cover and process until smooth.  Pour the melted butter into an ungreased 9x13 baking dish.  Spread it around and then add the batter.  Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Buttermilk Syrup

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract

In a good sized sauce pan*, combine the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda; bring to a boil.  Boil for 7 minutes.  Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.

Dust the pancakes with powdered sugar; serve immediately with syrup.

* I suggest using a large saucepan because with the buttermilk and the baking soda especially, the syrup expands a lot while over the heat.  I had to upgrade the size of my sauce pan after it started boiling and even then I had to worry about it boiling over.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
