German Pancakes

In a 9x13 inch pan place 4 tablespoons of butter and put pan in oven. Start ovenpreheating  to 350 degrees. 

Mix well:

6 to 8 eggs(we prefer more but it works fine with less)

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

When oven is preheated pull out pan, tilt pan around so melted butter coats the entire bottom, then pour in egg mixture. Return pan to oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes. 

Serve wit syrup, fruit and whipped cream, powdered sugar, or even jam. Today we had jam made by my grandmother on top. 

My children, ages 8, 5, and 3, can eat an entire panful themselves, so I recommend making two pans. 

Biscuits and Gravy

with sausage and canned pears

Sausage
Can(s) of pears
Biscuit recipe found at Ramblings of a Christian Mom! - note: it does require cream of tartar, I hear tell you can use vinegar instead of cream of tartar, have not tried it though.
I don't use a recipe for my gravy, but here's one that is similar to what I do.  I add ground sage to mine for extra yumminess. Homemade Country Gravy Recipe
