German Pancakes and Buttermilk Syrup

Christmas Breakfast


German Pancakes and Buttermilk "crack" syrup
In between attending shows, I sometimes make food. 

German Pancakes
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

Buttermilk (or as I call it, "Crack") Syrup
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
confectioner's sugar

Place the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour the butter into an ungreased 13 in x 9 in x 2 in baking dish; add the batter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, combine the first 5 ingredients; bring to a boil. Boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Dust pancake with confectioner's sugar; serve immediately with syrup. Yield: 8 servings (about 2 cups of syrup)

*My BFF makes this all the time and gave me the recipe. And I didn't even screw it up either :-)
