My grandma who was of German heritage but lived all her life around Danish immigrants in Western Iowa made a breakfast dish similar to this one that the family pronounced “Datch”. We also made Ableskeiver but this was the go to when we were late for church. Have you heard another name for this recipe?

Turned out great. Back home in ND where us German-Russians run rampant, we call them (do my best to translate lol) Iishtootles. Can be quickly made with a pancake mix, but what fun is that (also does not taste as good). Now for tweaks, a teaspoon of vanilla always gives desserts or in this case breakfast a good homemade taste. The pancakes are also easily scrambled in the pan with the spatula. Just my two cents. The pancakes themselves, I never had a real recipe. So thanks. At 39 this is a tradition thathasbeen passed down many generations. Now if I could just get my Grandpas red eye recipe, I would be happy.
