Kelly,
I don't think this is the recipe they use, but this is an authentic german pancake recipe. I have followed this recipe with a crepe recipe which I believe is what they use. I could not remember whether they top theirs with lemon curd or lingonberries, but if you have a problem duplicating the topping, please let me know. I hope you try the real thing and enjoy!
Pfannkuchen or German Pancakes
Combine and stir until smooth:
4 beated egg yolks 2 tablespoons corn starch 1/4 cup lukewarm milk 1/4 cup lukewarm water 3/4 tsp. salt 1 tbl. sugar grated rind of 1 lemon
Beat until very stiff: 4 egg whites Fold them into the egg mixture. Melt in heavy 10-inch skillet: 2 tablespoons butter When the skillet is hot, pour the pancake batter. Cook it over low to medium heat, partly covered with a lid, for about 5 minutes. It should puff up well, but it may fall. So serve it at once with the topping of your choice.
Crepes:
Combine and stir until the ingredients are the consistency of thin cream:
3 eggs 2 tbl. all-purpose flour 1 tbl. water 1 tbl. milk a pinch of salt
Store this batter in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight before using.
Place in a 5" crepe pan (or saute pan): 1 tbl. butter
When this bubbles, pour enough batter to cover the bottom with a thin coating. Keep the pan moving, for this is a delicate substance. A minute of cooking and the job is 3/4 of the way done. Turn the cake and keep turning it until it is well browned.
