German Pancakes

I hope you all enjoyed Momo's recipe for mac 'n' cheese the other day. She has graciously contributed yet another fantastic recipe for you all today.

German pan cakes

ATTENTION: I advise you to use the measurements that are NOT in cups because I'm not sure how exact the conversion is and you need to be fairly adequate for this recipe.

For two people you need:

375ml milk (apprx. 1.5 cups)
150g flour (little more than 0.5 cup)
2 eggs
salt

Mix flour, milk, eggs and a bit of salt. Let it rest for at least half an hour.
Put some sunflower oil into a frying pan and let it heat up properly. Scoop some of the dough into the pan and let it bake until the edges are brownish. Then turn the cake over and let the other side bake.
When the whole thing turned a brown-golden color, put it on a plate and get to the next scoop of dough.
Don't forget to refresh the oil in your pan and please be careful because hot oil tends to attack ;o)
The first pan cake (or as they are properly called, Plinse) will take the longest (maybe three or four minutes) and everything after that should take only around two minutes to finish.

Of course you can vary them by putting slices of apple or any other fruit or raisins into the pan along with the dough.

You can put maple syrup on top of them - or ham, cheese, jam, nutella, plain sugar or salt. since there's no sugar in the dough to begin with, you can do pretty much whatever you want with the end product.
I usually eat some with some kind of topping and the rest stays plain. They even taste good when they're cold. You can cut them into pieces, roll them, rip them ... GO WILD!
