German Pancakes (on the stove-top)

2 c. flour
2 c. milk
4 eggs
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
Butter

Mix all ingredients well.

Melt butter in large skillet.

Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into skillet.  When top is set, turn and brown the other side.

Melt more butter.  Cook another pancake.

*These were really yummy!  I made buttermilk syrup to go with them.  They're more work than German Pancake in the oven, but a good alternative if your oven isn't working.
