SUPER PUFFY GERMAN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.

• Crack eggs in a separate cup, and pour one at a time into blender (while it's still blending).
• Pour in the flour and the vanilla (if desired) and once it's mixed, pour immediately into hot cast iron skillet.
• Cook for 20 minutes.
• Now we're high altitude at 5000ft -- so if your lower, you may need to cook it longer. Just watch it, and when the edges are browned and it's all puffy, your ready to roll.
• Eat it just like any pancake, or some I know like it with lemon juice and powdered sugar. But either way, you'll love it! =D.
