Breakfast for Dinner!

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner? Growing up we *only* had breakfast foods at dinner time because my dad was the waffle/pancake cooker and went to work before anyone was up to eat breakfast. We always did cold cereal or instant oatmeal for breakfast. The other "breakfast foods" were reserved for dinner. Except on Christmas...that was our waffle day.

Today, my husband loves to make breakfast, but he usually eats after the kids have been up awhile. Sometimes he makes enough for them to eat lunch, but usually he makes a very small batch, or he freezes the leftovers for another day.

If I'm cooking "breakfast", its for dinner. Like on this night. Tonight was German Pancakes. or puff pancakes. or even hootenannie! (or however you would spell that) Its quick, its easy and its filling, and that is exactly the kind of meal I like to make!

German Pancakes:
1/4 lb butter or margarine
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
6-8 eggs (depends on how many are eating)

Heat oven to 375. Slice butter or margarine into 'pats' and place randomly on bottom of 8x11 inch (for 6 eggs) baking dish (13x9 pan for 8 eggs) and stick the pan in the oven for the butter to melt.
Mix flour, milk, salt and eggs in blender or with beaters until smooth.
Pour mixture into melted butter, and return to oven for about 20 minutes.
You'll know its done when its brown on the edges and tall and puffy! (you know...I think it gets taller when I use margarine...this batch had butter...)

You can top your German pancake with powdered sugar, but we stick to syrup. Fruit flavored syrups are my favorite.
