I am finding that recipes that call for small amounts of flour can be successfully changed to GF, tried this both with and without xanthan gum and it didn't make a difference. Just as soon avoid xanthan if possible.

GERMAN PANCAKES

2 eggs
1/2 t salt
1 t sugar

Preheat oven to 450

1/4 C GF flour
1/2 C DF milk of choice
1 T butter, Earth Balance is fine

Beat eggs, salt, sugar, flour and milk until very light and well blended. Heat butter in heat proof 10" pan, either fry pan or pie pan, until hot but not burned. Pour batter in pan and brown bottom 1 minute. Bake at 450 for 5 minutes, lower heat to 375, bake 10 minutes longer.

Serve with butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice. This is the traditional way, but syrup or jelly works well also.

This makes one pancake, serves one person. I have successfully multiplied it by 4 to serve 4 people.

Beverly, we have a local Dutch restaurant that serves a similar pancake called a Pannekoeken. My daughter and I were just discussing a gluten free option today. They serve fruit ones and also savory ones and they're really good. I'm going to try this.
Thanks, Deb

German pancakes are our family's favorite, since DH is German. I can't eat them anymore due to the eggs, but he always makes them when our daughter comes to visit.
