Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking School Cookbook is THE classic American cookbook. It was always within reach in my mom's kitchen when I was growing up, its yellowed pages delicate and frayed from frequent use. If my mom said, "Go get Fannie Farmer," I knew exactly what she meant. So when I decided to do a cookbook challenge blog, cooking 365 recipes in a year, it was only natural that I looked to Fannie. Her many basic recipes make it a perfect fit for someone just learning to cook.

German Pancakes
This is a really weird breakfast that is not actually a pancake. I'm not sure exactly what it is. It's pretty tasty, though. See pictures...it tasted a little like a giant fortune cookie.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 c. whole milk
1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp melted butter
Toppings: lemon juice and confectioners sugar, maple syrup, butter, etc.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450.
Butter a large skillet or 4 small ovenproof pans.
Beat eggs in large bowl until well beaten.
Add milk and blend well.
Sift flour into the eggs and milk as you whisk or mix.
Add melted butter and mix until smooth.
Pour batter into pan and bake 15 minutes. If using one big pan, reduce heat to 350 and bake 10 more minutes.
Sprinkle lemon juice over pancake and top with sugar or maple syrup and eat immediately.
This was pretty strange, a bit stretchy, a bit sweet, a bit chewy, but tender. I thought it was good, but my son thought it tasted too eggy. It was an interesting breakfast experiment to make once, though.
