German Pancakes

1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk
6 eggs, beaten
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Maple syrup or powdered sugar for topping

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Melt butter in a medium baking dish. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and pour the mixture into the baking dish with the butter.

2. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pancake is puffy and golden brown. Cut it into squares and serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

*This recipe is from the October 2008 Friend. It's very similar to my "Giant Oven Pancake" recipe. Rob said he likes this one better. I baked it for closer to 20 minutes.
