German Pancakes

OK, so this is not my recipe. I found it at food.com. It is a delicious way to do pancakes if you aren’t a fan of the usual flour based ones.

1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup flour, all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
jam
powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Blend first five ingredients in a blender. Be sure to smooth out any flour lumps.
Blend in butter a little at a time.
Grease muffin tins well and fill slightly less than half-full.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. The crater will form on its own.
Add your favorite toppings and a sprinkling of powdered sugar

I find if you whisk it well, a blender isn’t needed and it goes really well with a fruit compote, which is super easy to make (take your frozen fruit of choice, put in a saucepan with a couple scoops of white sugar, heat through. as the fruit thaws, the sugar makes a nice syrup with the juices.)
