Mini German Pancakes ~

Recipe | Food Inspiration

I just saw this recipe on Pinterest today. 

I am thinking these would be perfect for Easter brunch, so I thought I would share.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. orange zest (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend first six ingredients (milk thru orange zest) in a blender.  Be careful to see that any flour clumps get well-blended.
2. Blend in butter a little at a time in order to temper the eggs.
3. Grease muffin tins well and distribute batter evenly between 24 tins (I did more like 18. Gimme Some Oven’s tins were slightly less than half-full.  I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup and filled it almost full.) Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top.
4. Served with your favorite toppings.

Happy Sunday!

• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds thin chicken cutlets (about 8)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, olives, feta, mint, and 1 tablespoon oil. 
2. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
3. Heat a grill pan over high; brush lightly with oil. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Cook, working in batches as necessary, until chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Top chicken with tomato mixture, and serve.
