German Pancake

This recipe comes from a little book called ABC Jiffy Cookery. I've had it for over 50 years. I haven't made any of the recipes yet. I'm putting them here so I can find them easier.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 pancake

Ingredients

• 4  eggs
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1  pinch salt
• 3  tablespoons butter
• 1  cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup milk

Directions

1. Separate eggs. Beat the yolks, sugar, salt, and butter together. Beat in flour, and milk a little at a time, till used up. Whip the egg whites and fold into flour/butter mixture Pour the mixture into a pan with very hot butter and fry for a few minutes over medium heat.
2. When lightly browned turn over and using 2 forks tear the pancake into fairly large-sized pieces, rather roughly. Turn the pieces over and over, shaking the pan, till a nice golden brown is obtained.
3. Serve hot with sugar sprinkled over. A little cinnamon can be sprinkled also if desired.
