German Strawberry "Pfannkuchen" (Pancakes)
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
My mother was born and raised in Bavaria (Southern German)

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Unsalted butter (for the skillet)
- NOTE: You can make the batter a little thicker, if you prefer thick pancakes. I've adapted my mother's version to be thinner- more like crepes.
