• Combine the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, milk, vanilla, flour and melted butter in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Melt the butter in the skillet. Pour the batter into the heated skillet and then immediately, and carefully, move the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pancake is done when it is a rich amber color and the sides have risen considerably. Carefully remove the pancake from the skillet and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

GERMAN PANCAKE (ALSO CALLED DUTCH BABY)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and put a cast iron skillet (if using) into the oven to heat up.
• After about 15 - 20 minutes (or longer if your oven is slow), the skillet should be hot. Add the butter to the skillet and return it to the oven. If you're using a cake pan, add the butter to the cake pan and put it into the oven.
• Add 3 eggs and the sugar to blender and blend on low speed for 1 minute. The eggs should be light colored and bubbly. Then add the flour and milk and blend for 10 seconds, until evenly mixed.
• Take the skillet or cake pan out of the oven and make sure the butter has completely melted, with a baster spread the butter over the entire surface of the pan. Pour the batter into the hot skillet or pan and scatter the fruit on top of the batter if using.
• Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 - 22 minutes, or until the sides and middle have puffed up and browned.

GERMAN SAUERKRAUT W/ BACON SAUSAGE & BABY BACK RIB

Steps:

• 1. You are going to love this one pot wonder. You can use a lot less than I did, but I made enough for at least 2 days. Remove the thin membrane from the back side of the ribs, then season with spices of your choice. I used my special blend of https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-rub/rose-marys-spice-blend-for-meats.html?p=1 posted here.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add the ribs to a large skillet or roasting pan with the curved bone side down, and roast for 45 minutes, then turn over and roast for an additional 30 minutes.
• 3. After ribs are cooled enough to handle, using a sharp knife cut ribs into two bone pieces or serving size as desired.
• 4. Add bacon to a large skillet and cook until almost crisp tender, then remove from skillet.
• 5. Brown the smoked sausage in same skillet as bacon using some of the rendered fat from bacon. Remove and cut into smaller pieces, and set aside.
• 6. Saute the onions, peppers, garlic & apples in same skillet till crisp tender. Then combine with sauerkraut, and add brown sugar and stir to mix. NOTE YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO ADD THE RAW FRUIT AND VEGGIES TO THE KRAUT WITHOUT COOKING FIRST SINCE IT WILL COOK IN THE OVEN FOR A LONG TIME ANYWAY. Which ever method you prefer.
• 7. Drain sauerkraut if desired. I prefer to leave some of the liquid and pour into a large bowl. Add the chopped pieces of bacon. Brown the sausage links in the same skillet.
• 8. Cut the sausages into smaller bite size pieces, and add to kraut mixture, add in the brown sugar and caraway seed if not already added.
• 9. Stir to mix together. Add potatoes at this point if there is room in your pot, or cook potatoes separately as I chose to do.
• 10. Add a hearty layer of the Kraut mixture to the bottom of the large skillet, ten top with a layer of the ribs, or add all of the ribs as I did, and then top with the remaining kraut mixture. Pour in the apple cider, cover with a tight fitting lid or foil and place in preheated oven & cook for 2 1/2 hours, or until mixture is almost tender.
• 11. Remove lid and continue to cook for an additional 1/2 hour or so. Remove from oven and serve as desired. With Potatoes and a crusty Bread or what ever you choose.
• 12. Your family is going to love you for making this comforting and tasty dish. A bit of work but well worth your efforts.
