German Pancakes with Sausage and Fiesta Salsa

A New Twist on an Family Favorite

German Pancake - serves 4-6

Prep Time: 5 minutes plus pre-heat time
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes

4 Tablespoons margarine or butter
6 medium or large eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cooked ground sausage

Preheat the oven to 450°

While the oven is pre-heating, place margarine in a heavy metal pan (glass can be substituted if needed) and, put pan in oven so pan can heat and margarine can melt.

While margarine is melting, put all other ingredients, except sausage, in blender and blend well, scraping edges of blender as necessary.

As soon as oven is pre-heated, give blender one more quick pulse, then pour egg batter into the middle of the melted margarine.

Sprinkle cooked ground sausage over egg batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Pancake will be puffy and brown when finished, but should not be dry.

(The picture shows 1/2 the pan with ground sausage and half without, to accommodate the requests of family members. See, this really is a "No Fuss" recipe. Everyone gets it "their" way.
