Puffy Oven Pancakes (German pancakes)

2 T of butter
2 Large eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 t salt
lemon juice and powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in 9X9 pan in oven. Try not to let the butter brown.
2. Beat eggs and then beat in flour, milk, and salt until smooth, a little lumpy is o.k. but the smoother the better
3. Pour batter into pan over the melted butter and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with lemon juice and powdered sugar (optional)

We eat this with maple syrup or jam on top. You can also easily double the recipe and put it into a 13/9 pan.

Apple variation:

Make just like above except-- sprinkle 2 T of brown sugar and 1/4 t of cinnamon evenly over melted butter then arrange 1 medium apple sliced over the sugar. Pour batter on top and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Loosen edge with knife and turn upside down onto serving plate to serve.
