German Pancake with Buttermilk Sauce

I like german pancakes- Ryne not so much because of the eggs. But I figure its a good way for me to get in some extra protein for breakfast. I cut this recipe in half and didn't try the sauce yet, just ate it with fresh cut up peaches, which was great.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with the melted butter.
2. Place eggs, milk and flour in a blender and whip until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden.
4. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, baking soda; boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Spoon over slices of pancake.

Texas Sheet Cake

This turned out pretty yummy! Ryne likes Texas sheet cake.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar(I cut that down to about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup water
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons milk
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch pan. (I used a bigger pan because I like it a little thinner)
2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat in the sour cream and eggs. Set aside. Melt the butter on low in a saucepan, add the water and 5 tablespoons cocoa. Bring mixture to a boil then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly, then stir cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until blended.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. For the icing: In a large saucepan, combine the milk, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1/2 cup butter. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla, then fold in the nuts, mixing until blended. Spread frosting over warm cake.
