German Pancakes One of my favorite childhood memories is watching my dad pull German Pancakes out of the oven on Christmas morning. When they first come out of the oven they are so huge and fluffy!

Although, now that I am older I know that all the pieces are equally delicious!...

And if the nuts happen to be pecans, well, get out of the way....
