Pop Up Pancakes




I'll be the first to post!
I found a recipe for pop up pancakes (also known as German Pancakes) on this blog http://www.makeandtakes.com/. I made them for my kids and they devoured them in a matter of minutes and begged to make them again soon. Since then we've made them for breakfast, lunch, and dessert. They taste a little like crepes and french toast combined. The batter pops up in the oven. You can see in the first photo how they look when they come out of the oven. You can top them with anything you want. Our favorites are syrup with powdered sugar and fruit with whipped cream or powdered sugar. You could also top them with chocolate or honey or anything else that sounds good to you. You can make them in any kind of pan, but muffins are fun. We love them and they are super easy to make. The recipe I saw was good but I added a little vanilla and sugar and now the recipe tastes great!

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
