Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Set aside.
- Heat a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and brush the inside with the shortening. Pour in the batter and bake for 15 minutes.
- Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. and continue baking until puffed and golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes more. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the pancake. Serve immediately in the skillet with maple syrup, marinated berries, or glazed apples and pears.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently until syrupy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.
- Peel, core, and cut both the apples and pears into 3/4-inch wedges. In a medium bowl, toss the fruit with the lemon juice.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon sticks and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the fruit, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until glazed, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the orange juice, and cook until the fruit is easily pierced with a paring knife, about 1 minute more. If desired, add the Calvados. If cooking on a gas burner, carefully tip the pan toward the flame to flambe the alcohol; if cooking over an electric element, hold a long match near the mixture. Swirl the pan over the heat until the flame subsides. Serve warm.
GERMAN PANCAKE
Piping hot and puffy from the oven, this golden pancake made a pretty presentation for a skier's theme breakfast I hosted. Served with homemade buttermilk syrup, it's an eye-opening treat. Make several German pancakes if you're feeding a crowd, and keep in mind that my easy syrup tastes great on waffles and French toast, too. -Renae Moncur, Burley, Idaho

Tips:
- Use the right pan: A 10-inch cast-iron skillet is ideal for making German pancakes. It retains heat evenly and helps the pancake cook through.
- Preheat the pan: Before you start cooking, preheat the pan over medium-high heat. This will help the pancake cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
- Use a little bit of butter: Add a little bit of butter to the pan before you pour in the batter. This will help the pancake brown and give it a nice flavor.
- Pour the batter in a thin layer: The batter should be poured into the pan in a thin layer, about 1/4-inch thick. This will help the pancake cook evenly.
- Don't flip the pancake: German pancakes are not flipped like traditional pancakes. They are cooked on one side only, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Serve immediately: German pancakes are best served immediately, with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
German pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a crowd, and they can be topped with a variety of fruits, syrups, and whipped cream. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect German pancakes every time.
