  • German Pancake With Buttermilk Syrup

    German Pancake is one of my family’s favorite breakfast-for-dinner dishes!  It would also make a wonderful brunch dish. It’s really more of an egg dish than a traditional pancake.  The pancake puffs up and can almost look semi-souffle like.  The pancake itself is quite good, but the thing that makes this so great is the homemade Buttermilk…
