* Popeye Pancakes *

Some people call these German Pancakes or Hootenanies. We called them Popeye Pancakes because of the "muscles" they grew as they baked (and it was called Popeye Pancakes in the cookbook we used)! Growing up, it was my little brother's favorite meal (I loved them too) and my dad would often make them on weekends for breakfast. He always made them in the cookie sheet pan but you can also make them in the 9x13 pan. They cook in the same amount of time but they are obviously thicker in the smaller pan.

* Popeye Pancakes *

(my Popeye Pancakes obviously didn't eat their spinach...they didn't turn out as bumpy as they usually do. Disclaimer....there is no spinach in this recipe)
6 T. butter/margarine
1 c. flour
6 eggs
1 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt

Melt 6 T. butter in either cookie sheet or 9x13 pan over low heat. Make sure the entire bottom and lower sides of the pan are coated with butter. Pour the remaining butter into mixture below. (I also spray the sides of the pan with cooking spray, just to be safe) Combine and blend flour, eggs, milk, salt, and butter until bubbly and frothy. Pour mixture into buttered pan and bake at 400* for 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with maple syrup --or-- lemon juice and sift with powdered sugar.
