German Pancakes

We love German Pancakes! It is one of our favorite breakfast foods. Almost every Saturday morning Kaden asks me if he can make them for breakfast. Usually we have slept in and by the time he asks we don't have enough time to make them. So instead he asks to make them on Sunday.

This past Sunday he got up early enough to make us German Pancakes for breakfast. He has gotten pretty good at making them, but he still needs my help. This is because one batch will not feed our family of seven. We have to make at least four to five batches! We only have three casserole dishes, so that means we make three batches and put them in the oven. Then we make two more batches while the first three are cooking. This Sunday Kaden and I were working hard in the kitchen and then everyone started waking up and coming downstairs. This got us a little distracted, so much so that we totally burned one of the batches.

Well, if you know Kaden, you can guess how happy he was. Kaden loves anything burnt (I think he gets that from my dad). Kaden was so excited because he knew he would get the whole thing to himself (an entire 9x13 casserole dish of charcoal)!

I didn't expect him to finish the whole thing. His brothers didn't think he could do it either, so the challenge began. Kaden was determined to eat the entire thing. He kept telling us he would.

Kaden stayed true to his word. He ate the entire thing! He was pretty proud of himself. We were all very impressed! I just hope he doesn't expect to do this every time now!!
