German Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
- 4 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- chopped bananas or other fruit

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then add the flour, milk, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Mix well.
- Meanwhile, in a medium oven-safe skillet, add butter and place in oven. When butter is melted, remove skillet from oven. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
