Hoot-N-Nanny Pancakes

These fun delicious pancakes have several different names... My husband's family calls them Hoot-N-Nanny Pancakes. I call them Magic Pancakes, well because I could never remember what my in laws called them and I had no idea they had any other name AND because they really really are MAGIC.  Apparently they are also called German Pancakes. No offence to any Germans (my ancestors are German) but this is a little boring compared to the later options. 

This is by far one of my favorite breakfasts.  BY FAR!  I also love it for dinner too but my hubby doesn't necessarily like breakfast for dinner.

Are you ready for the MAGIC???




No. Really, are you ready?





Okay,  I warned you!

 Isn't it B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L???

 LUSCIOUS?

 Okay, the finger just ruined it...

 OH, NO... I'm SO sorry!  This is the kind of crap I have to put up with... all - of - the - time!
This is my brother in law trying to get his face on my blog... It worked.

And here is the recipe cause by now I know your mouth is watering.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

For a 9x9 baking dish you will need:

• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Maple Syrup & Powdered Sugar (Optional)

When I took these pictures I made it in a 9x13 baking dish and doubled the recipe so if your amounts of ingredients look a little different don't worry.

Place butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl.

Melt it in the microwave.  It only takes about 20 seconds or so.

 Crack eggs into the butter and whisk.  Then add the dry ingredients.

 Now the milk and vanilla.  Now beat really well.

 Spray your baking dish well and dump the very thin and runny batter into dish.  Place in oven for about 30 minutes.  Be sure the middle isn't too jiggly when you take it out of the oven.

 NOW, MAKE SURE YOU LET THE KIDS SEE THIS!  IT IS MAGIC YOU KNOW~
