How many duck eggs did you EAT today?

[WannaBeHillBilly]

my grandmother who came over from Austria-Hungary at age 16 in 1928 called the dish Orshteds …

Okay, i found your link to TastesBetterFromScratch and let me tell you calling that dish »German Pancakes« is dead wrong!
The typical German pancake is made from a batter, consisting of milk, eggs, sugar, salt and wheat-flour and is about 2cm (a little less than 1") thick. Baked in a frying pan, usually with butter(!), from both sides by throwing it through the air to flip it over.
For simple pancakes that's it and they will be eaten as a substitute for bread with soup or a stew. However, it is very common to plaster the pancake with (slices of) fruit while one side is baking in the pan. Most popular are cherries, apples and plum:

Kirschpfannkuchen (Cherry pancake)

Apfelpfannkuchen (Apple pancake)

Pflaumenpfannkuchen (Plum pancake)

The variants with fruits are placed on a plate, drizzled with sugar and then covered with a pan-lid until the sugar has melted. And such a pancake is not a desert! That is a full meal and many people are not able to eat even one.

The dish on that web-site, i have never seen in Germany, to me this looks like a dish from the Scandinavia - yes, maybe even dutch.

So that's the difference, German pancakes are not baked, they are fried in a frying pan. - Actually they are fried slowly with the lid on, so it is more of a baking process… And vanilla in the batter is optional.

I so hope that either the plum-tree or the cherry-trees will produce enough fruit this year so that i can make some German pancakes here. The cherries are usually too expensive to use for baking and plums - i haven't seen plums in any supermarket here for years!

We do get plums in the grocery store here.
