Great recipe. I had this type of pancake way back in the 1940's. My Grandmother made them.I like them rolled up with lightly cooked blueberrys with some sugar.

You are right! It is yummy! The first time I tried this was when I was in the 4th grade and one of my niece's friends, Gina Barkley's mom, made German pancakes for HER! I ripped a piece out of her plate, ate it, and remembered the way that "pancake" melted in my mouth! Until today, I had never known how to even make it! I followed your recipe and it came out EXACTLY how I tasted it years and years ago. It brought me back to my nieces old neighborhood in Salinas, California! I topped it with butter and sprinkled sugar and savoured it! Thank you!!!! JP
