My mother was born and raised in Bavaria (Southern German)

  • Measurements are "approximate". You want the batter to be fairly thin, but not watery.
  • 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.
