PRAYER REQUEST....and a German Pancake

Dear Friends...
Our son, David Conklin, is having prostate cancer surgery
 4/4/16, tomorrow morning.
I am coveting prayers that the cancer is contained in the prostate and when
the doctors remove the prostate, our David will be totally free of cancer.
Thank you so very much....
we all know how powerful prayer is.

GERMAN PANCAKES


It is ONE BIG PANCAKE,
cooked either in a regular, round CAKE pan
or, as I did,
in a cast iron skillet..
It rises...
then falls into
light and delicious ! 





...almost like a CREPE...
and you can add just ANYthing to them to make a really special treat.
I hear MAPLE SYRUP is a really good choice...
(Mr. Sweet's favorite



I'm thinking
creme cheese and pecans, with a tiny bit of crushed PINEAPPLE..
*SIGH 
or....
LEMON and Powdered Sugah...

Sweet cousins gave us these pretty dishes, napkins, napkin rings
a few years ago
and I love using them.

 


The pink, market flowers look so pretty with the blue dishes.




Since CHERRIES are one of my very favorite fruits,
this is what I added to our pancakes.
Sweet, yet tart and,
O SO DELICIOUS 
I buy the cans of TART CHERRIES (not the pie filling...never the pie filling)
add a tiny bit of sugar, a little flour and water...
gently boil for a few minutes...they will thicken a little.
*

I think the dishes look....DANISH..SWEDISH..
maybe even a little GERMAN..?



Sweet and spicy apples are good, rolled in the pancakes, so I've heard.

 GERMAN PANCAKE
1/4 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a medium baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix flour, milk, eggs and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

 Bake on center rack in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown 
Then, add whatever fruit you like and 
sprinkles of delicious, white, fluffy POWDERED SUGAR
NOTE..I used my large cast iron skillet to bake this and it worked beautifully.


LOVE, bj

Ruby Tuesday
Tweak it Tuesday

After posting this, I remembered I had fruit in the fridge...
so...
I made another GERMAN PANCAKE
and this time....
*

I filled it with tangerines and fresh pineapple.....
and...
PECANS...
and covered it all in luscious, sweet WHIPPED CREAM...
O...so delicious.
xoxo

I may have had a post recently with these pancakes but if so,
please forgive me...my mind is on other things at the moment.
and THANK YOU for prayers.

  28. May your son David be surrounded tomorrow by healing light and love. Wishing him all the best!

    And THANK YOU for that German pancake recipe. I adore German pancakes and there is not one single restaurant in my current city that serves them! Whenever I'm in my former city, I always go to this one special restaurant just to have one. I love mine with freshly squeezed lemon juice and powdered icing sugar.

    One question though -- how large is your large oven-proof skillet? How many inches across? I will have to buy one for myself before attempting to make my own German pancake!

  33. Dear Sister friend, Our prayers are for David and will be said throughout his recovery. There is much success with this cancer so lighten your dear heart.

    I do LOVE German pancakes sooooo much. Mostly with powdered sugar and lemons squeezed on them. I confess that I would probably love them in every way you shared them. Yummmmmmmm.

    Thanks for joining Blue Monday.
    Much love to you and your family,

  34. We just -- in the last month -- had a scare with J's prostate - blood tests and MRI's and finally the doc said it isn't aggressive cancer (cup half full!) and if it is the slow growing kind, they'll check again in the fall (cup half empty). I can feel your anxiety and know it will. You all are in my prayers! Hugs to you~

  35. Prayers for David and all the family. We have been there and done that. Praise God all cancer was removed and didn't even require radiation or chemo. God is still in the healing business.

  52. I, too, prayed for your David's surgery to be uneventful & that he make a complete & rapid recovery.
    I know how stressful it is to have a loved one in the hospital, for whatever reason.

    Thanks for the German pancake recipe. I've only made them once & would like to try again, as yours looks so yummy.

  53. I am so sorry to hear about your David's cancer, BJ. He will be in my prayers. If it is okay, I would like to put him on our church prayer list. I read your later post and was glad to hear that his surgery went well. Prayer is a powerful thing and our God always hears our prayers. Have a beautiful Sunday and a blessed week!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
