German Pancakes?

[ipsedixit]

You know, the kind that is baked and look more like a cross between a popover and a souffle than an ordinary red, white and blue version of the pancake?

Who makes your favorite version of the German Pancake?

I usu. hit up Nickel Diner for German Pancake, but their stuff is sometimes wildly inconsistent and would like to try other places.

Your best German Pancake option is probably Jagerhaus in Anaheim:

1) German Apple
2) Austrian Raisin
3) Stuttgart Peach
4) Bavarian Cherry
5) German with Lemon & Powdered Sugar

But their outside of your travel comfort zone.

Rockenwager - Venice (In your travel comfort zone ?) - Has just 1 but I've never tried it:

Is Jagerhaus better/worse than Original Pancake House?

[MaryT]

They are both very good IMHO. There are multiple locations of the OPH, btw, one on Lincoln in Anaheim that I used to love to go to . . . they are also in Orange, Yorba Linda, etc.

I've never been to the Original Pancake House, so I wouldn't know.

If you're looking for a huge German Pancake, go to Original Pancake House in Redondo Beach (also Anaheim):

Yeah, I know, thanks. But a bit outside of my geographical comfort zone (and gas prices aren't helping any ...)

Another vote for Anaheim's Original House of Pancakes, but the German pancake (or "Dutch Baby" as they are often called) isn't that hard to bake at home. I'm sure you can find an easy recipe on the Internet to try, if the price of gas is a concern. I think the special thing about this pancake is they serve it with lemon and powdered sugar. Sounds weird, but very tasty.

I make these at home already. Sometimes you just don't want to make them at home.

Another vote for the Original Pancake house. My favorite pancakes in LA.

If you go to Palm Springs, Elmer's on East Palm Canyon Drive has a really good German pancake, enormous and worth the wait.

... but is it worth the drive?

[monku]

Called a Dutch Baby, good but not worth the drive.
