Notes

Now that you’ve made your German Pancakes, they need toppings! Anyone can melt butter and pour maple syrup on a pancake, but have you tried these other toppings?
  • Strawberries or Blueberries and Whipped Cream
  • Cookie Butter and Bananas
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly
  • Honey and Chocolate Chips
  • Fried Egg and Bacon Bits
  • For Kids, chocolate chips and sprinkles are always a hit!
  • Our Grandpa Blick used to eat his German Pancakes with salsa and sour cream. It sounds strange but its good combo if you like savory!
