A spread of pfannkuchen on a wooden table: a stack of golden German pancakes on one plate, a plate of sliced ham, salami, cheddar, havarti, and pickles, and a rolled pfannkuchen on a small plate.

A family recipe for Pfannkuchen, traditional West German pancakes made from one simple batter and served savoury with cold meats and cheese or sweet with jam and fresh fruit. Stack them on a plate and let everyone build their own.
