It’s December! Can you believe the end of 2020 is almost here? It’s the last month of this crazy and very upsetting year and I’m glad to see it almost gone. There is HOPE around the corner for all of us. The vaccine is coming and it can’t come soon enough!
Hello Friends and Welcome In.
As I await for Santa to come, I do start to scurry and hurry in preparations for Christmas. But this year for me… it’s going to be different… I’m going to slow it down a bit. I just want to enjoy the simpler things… the Simple Pleasures in life.
Like early mornings… the quiet… the stillness.
But with early mornings comes breakfast! And since I am talking about enjoying the simple things… I’ve got the perfect “simple breakfast recipe” for you!
A German Pancake!
It can be rustic for an everyday breakfast on the farm or elegant for your fancy Christmas Brunch.
This is the recipe I used from author Susan Branch.
It’s just eggs and flour with milk, salt and butter added. That’s pretty SIMPLE folks! I did add sliced apples and sprinkled it all with cinnamon.
It’s so fun to see this yummy goodness puff up. The edges are a bit crispy and the center is a bit eggy. We really enjoyed it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and some warm Maple syrup.
I hope you give it a try… it’s the perfect way to start off your day. And so simple.
Thank you for stopping by for Breakfast. I hope your December is filled with Simple Pleasures.
Nancy, how delicious looking! The only thing missing is I am not enjoying a German pancake with my coffee. Happy December, my friend!
Good Morning Pam… this is a recipe that can Wow guests. I promise to not tell them how easy it is!
Happy December sweet friend!
Over the years, I’ve made this numerous times and we always enjoy it. Delicious.
Good Morning Judy! I’m glad you know how delicious it is. And how simple it is.
It’s December Judy… can you believe it? Take care my dear friend.
This looks delish, Nance. Happy December to you two. Yes, let’s get that vaccine out to all …
Good Morning Mr. Mark… I will be first in line when it’s my turn to get the vaccine. I have a friend who was a volunteer in Moderna’s phase 3 trial. She is 62, a flight attendant and is doing very well. (She did not get the placebo.) She is being followed now to see how long her immunity lasts.
Oh and I hope you get to try this German Pancake! It’s delicious!
Happy December Buddy!
I really like the rustic look of that pancake. Yum
Rustic was what I was going for Chris. But it can be fancied up as well.
Good Morning my friend.
And yes… it’s delicious!
Enjoy your first day of December!
Thank you. You as well.
Happy December, Nancy! That pancake recipe looks scrumptious! I was just wanting to find something different to make for breakfast, and this fits the bill. Thanks so much for sharing! I hope you have a most beautiful day, sweet friend!
Hello Shannon! I’ll be serving this for Christmas breakfast. It’s tasty and looks pretty too.
Happy December and thank you for stopping in.
Yum! Sound perfect for a cold morning.
Indeed Beth!
Happy December!
Hi Nancy! Even the picture of the written recipe itself is adorable. This sounds amazing and easy! I’ll have to try it. I love sweet simple breakfasts. Happy December dear friend! ❤️
It’s delicious! Susan Branch never fails… with her amazing seasonal ideas. All her books and recipes look this beautiful all the time.
Hope you give it a try.
Happy December Sandra!
I like the way you’re thinking Nancy, keep it simple and enjoy! I am going to try to do the same, less is more! I am not going to go overboard with decor, and sadly not much entertaining, but I do want to enjoy Christmas as the meaningful experience it was meant to be and embrace the small pleasures like a pancake for breakfast! I’ve never had a German pancake, it sounds wonderful, thank you!
Jenna
Jenna, you and I are thinking the same.
You do know Susan Branch never disappoints… I hope you give it a try!
Happy December dear Jenna!
I love the idea of making things simpler. Your living room looks so cozy and inviting! Definitely a great place to relax. I’ve got to try this pancake! It sounds delicious!
Thank you Michelle! We like Cozy!
And this pancake does not disappoint!
Happy December my friend, Michelle.
The German pancake is a winner for sure. Like you, I can’t believe it’s December. Even with the year’s challenges, time has gone fast.
I agree Lulu it has gone fast.
I hope you give this German pancake a try. It’s different but you know Susan Branch never disappoints!
Have a wonderful December… the vaccine is right around the corner… Thank Goodness!
I love your fireplace decor.
I am so hungry now!!!
Oh my does that German Pancake look amazing!!!!! You are quite the cook Nancy. Isn’t it nice to be able to slow down and enjoy the Christmas season, after all it’s the days leading up to Christmas are the best part. Also, I wanted to thank you for your funny comment about our Elfie and toilet paper! Your comment went to my spam for some reason.
I love your Christmas decorations. So beautiful!
Delicious recipe. Thank you, Nancy!
Hi Amy! So glad to hear from you. I hope you get to try this recipe.
Happy Weekend to you!
💖💗
Mmm. That looks delicious. I haven’t made it in a long time. It used to be a favorite for my kids. When finished baking, we would top it with canned fruit cocktail heated with some ground nutmeg. Your version looks delicious too.
Your version sounds amazing!
Hope all is well… thank you for the visit my friend! Take care and stay safe.
Looks yummy!! Love this time of year, even during this year….trying to stay focused on the positive….vaccine hurry up!!
You said it perfectly Kirt!
Happy Holidays!
