Recipe of the Week: Backofenschlufer

This recipe comes from my German Great-Grandmother, Ruth. She was amazing.  Apparently it means "bake-oven slide" or something.  It is the recipe for puffy oven pancakes.

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

6 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 450°, melt 4 tsp margarine in a 9 x 13 pan and then coat the bottom of the pan with the melted margarine. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and then pour them into the pan. Bake for 17 minutes. Try not to open the oven when it is baking, or it could collapse. Usually it puffs up nicely, but sometimes it will stay flat. I'm still trying to figure out what makes the difference in puffyness, and I will let you know if I find out.
