I got this e-mail from my friend yesterday:
I have to let you know that your GERRRMANN PANCAKES OF HAPPINESS!!!!! saved my life yesterday. I had the worst day ever! I woke up at 4:30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I was freezing and the shower wasn’t giving me adequate hot water. There was no milk for my cereal. I had no clean clothes. Static took over my hair. I made tuna fish for lunch but didn’t have any bread to put it on. My car wouldn’t heat up fast enough. Everything that could go wrong at work, did go wrong. My throat was sore. I forgot my lunch. My co-worker was arrested over the weekend. I was stuck in traffic on the way home. My library books were overdue. I forgot to bring to trash to the road for pickup. I left the iron on. I forgot to put socks in my gym bag. The door on my mailbox was busted and my Bon Appetit magazine got soaked. And water leaked into my basement!
So I skipped the workout. Bundled up in blankets. Stared a new book, and ate GERRRMAN PANCAKES OF HAPPINESS!!!!!!! That pretty much kept me from hanging myself. So thank you.
It’s not that I don’t have any respect for Ryan’s profession, but let’s give credit where credit is due. Let us never forget the healing powers of the German Pancake.
They are a life-saver! Any tips on getting mine to turn out as wonderfully puffy as yours?? I’ve had a little trouble with my last few batches.
I think I NEED this for dinner tonight. Thanks Dr. Tiffany.
Nothing to do with German pancakes, but, ShaLayne and I saw your most favorite Target shirt at the American Fork Target, with,get this… a bright RED sticker across the original price! Would you like us to pick you up a “back up”? (Here, I CAN tie in German pancakes into this. Ready?) You know… just in case some of the butter, or syrup from your German pancakes happen to accidently drop onto you “favoritist” shirt! You would have a second one, and no one would ever know! (Remember, I’m in Special Ed, so I am allowed to make up my own vocabulary words at will!)
P.S. The wheat on you background reminds me of when I was young, my mom would make German pancakes. Guess which kind? For all I know she sprinkled a little flax seed in there too.
Those look super yummy – I want the recipe. Please share.
Okay – I aparently can’t read blogs yet – I just saw the recipe. Ignor my last comment.
the last couple of times I have been meaning to make these (because I am an addict) I have been missing a key ingredient – milk, butter or syrup. But I think if I plan correctly this will be tomorrow morning’s breakfast to celebrate the first time in FOREVER that I will get to sleep in. I can’t wait . . .
Mmmm…German Pancakes of Happiness…Yummm…
