How to Make Bavarian Pancakes

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Stack pancakes and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Suggestions include: lemon juice and powdered sugar, fresh berries and whipped cream, Nutella and bananas, or savory fillings like ham and cheese.
Roll up and enjoy!
