Piping hot and puffy from the oven, this golden pancake made a pretty presentation for a skier's theme breakfast I hosted. Served with my homemade buttermilk syrup, it's an eye-opening treat. That easy syrup tastes great on waffles and French toast, too. -Renae Moncur, Burley, Idaho

I've made this recipe since it first came out in the magazine years ago. We have it for every family members' birthday breakfast--it's that good. Love the syrup.

This is very easy and tastes great! The syrup is also very yummy. I had a lot of syrup leftover.

I have been makeing this sence it came out in my TOT mag. I love the pancake and the syurp is out of this world. When making the syurp, put in in a larger pan than you think you need because it rises up a lot. I raised 3 sons and they could not get enough of the German Pancake. Now that they are living on their own and having families of their own, they have called several times for this recipe. Thanks Taste of Home.

Made this the first time it came out in the TOH magazine and have been making every year since. It is a staple for Christmas and Easter breakfast. The syrup is what makes it. Yummy

So yummy and so easy to make! It came out perfect. I didn't have Buttermilk so I found a substitute and the syrup tasted amazing. Here is how to make the buttermilk substitute:-Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.-Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.-Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.And be sure to watch the syrup, it will bubble over if you don't, use a big saucepan. Enjoy:)

We LOVE this recipe. I like to make the pancake because it has a lower carb count and higher protein than normal pancakes. That is a great help with a diabetic child. With four kids, having that much pancake ready at once is fabulous, but the four of them can devour a whole pan by themselves. We love the syrup too, and use it all the time on waffles. Everyone who eats it here wants to know all about it, definitely a keeper. I can do a double batch of syrup in a six quart pan without worrying about it boiling over, it does climb the pan a lot.

The first time I made this was 13 years ago. Although I'm not for sure where the magazine is, I know where to find this great receipe. My son has requested for his birhtday dinner this weekend to have the German pancake with the syrup. It really is an awesome receipe.

I will definitely be making this again. The pancake was tasty, but the syrup clinched it.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I have been making this pancake since I bought the magazine in 1998. This is the best recipe! So much better than only being able to cook a few pancakes at a time. I love the texture and taste of these. I always get recipe requests from my guests when I make this. I must add I have never made the syrup, since we are lucky enough to receive a gift of maple syrup each year from friends that produce the liquid gold! I highly recommend this and suggest to try different toppings like fruit or whatever....very versitile!

My family loves this recipe and I have given it to several friends who have asked for it. The buttermilk syrup is wonderful and keeps for weeks in the fridge.

A family favourite, I would suggest using a large saucepan for the syrup as when I make it it boils up quite high.

This is a family favorite and super easy to make, and the buttermilk syrup is excellent! I get requests to serve this often.

This recipe is so easy and so delicious! My husband was skeptical when he saw it, but after taking it on the go for breakfast, he called from work to tell me how delicious it was. Definitely one that we will be using on a regular basis!
