"This is my base recipe for German-style pancakes (called Pfannkuchen or Eierkuchen), the way I grew up with them. The dough can be prepared, stored, and used the next day, but tastes just as good when you make the pancakes right away. I love to top them with cheese while they're still in the pan, but the most classic way of serving is as we did here, with cinnamon sugar or applesauce. Other serving suggestions, would be simply a spritz of lemon juice and sugar, a flavorful mushroom gravy, smoked tofu, feta, tomato and scallions, a dusting of powdered sugar, chocolate spread, jam… pretty much whatever you can think of! Enjoy!"
