German Pancakes with Grape Syrup

These are a family favorite. I think my kids would choose this meal over pretty much any other food!

German Pancakes

6 TBS melted butter

6 eggs slightly beaten

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

¼ tsp salt

Melt butter in a 9”x13” baking dish. Combine eggs, milk, flour and salt together in a bowl. Poor over in baking dish over the melted butter. Bake at 425 (or 400 if you like a thicker pancake) for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Serve with Grape Syrup. Serves 5.

Grape Syrup

In a 2 quart saucepan combine

1 cup sugar

2 TBS cornstarch

2 TBS lemon Juice

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves

Add 2 cups grape juice (I usually use frozen concentrated grape juice but add only half the water to dilute it). Bring to boil and cook just until mixture becomes clear. Makes 2 cups.
