German Pancakes (AKA Triceratops)

Recipe by Braxton Allred

Heat: 425°F
Time: 18–20 min
Makes: Not recorded

In my mom’s words, “When Braxton was little I took it to the table one morning when he was in his dinosaur stage and he said: "Wow, triceratop horns!" (because it was very puffy in the corners-) Now all my kids just call this “triceratops" to this day.” Custardy, buttery, and light, this is a perfect sweet breakfast item”.

Ingredients

1 c milk Several shakes salt
1 c flour
3 T. melted butter (I reduced this from
6 eggs the original 1⁄2 cup butter. It is fine with
1-2 t. vanilla much less
Turn oven to 425. Put butter in a 9 x 13 casserole pan and throw pan in the oven while
it heats up and you make the batter. Pour milk in blender to one cup line. Add all other
ingredients and blend until smooth- pour mixture into pan in oven when butter is
completely melted. Bake about 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve
immediately. Great with yogurt and honey, sour cream and fruit, or maple syrup.
