Germany: Pfannkuchen (Pancakes)

In Germany people love many types of egg dishes, but one that stands out, especially among children: the Pfannkuchen, also known as Eierkuchen in many regions. Unlike variants from other countries like France, Germans use a generous amount of eggs in the batter.

Ingredients (for 6-8 pancakes):

• 3 eggs
• 7 fl oz (about 3/4 cup) milk
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• Sunflower oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt to form a smooth batter.
2. Heat the oil in a pan until hot. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and cook the pancake over reduced heat on one side.
3. Flip the pancake when the top side is set. The best way is to use a spatula to transfer it onto a plate and then slide it back into the pan with the uncooked side down.
4. For a savory twist, add cheese or sausage to the pancake while cooking.
5. Keep the cooked pancakes warm on a plate in the oven at 176°F (80°C).

Tip: Everyone can top their pancake as they like: jam, chocolate spread, sprinkles, cheese, or even salad. Whatever tastes good is allowed.
