German Pancakes with the BEST syrup ever!

A little background about these recipes....
First of all, if you have never been to Delta, Utah you should go. The peeps are wonderful and they cook FANTASTIC! I mean seriously, I could get very fat in that place :)
Second of all, my AMAZING friend (we will call her Shar Shar) grew up there and she grew up eating German Pancakes. I had never had them so when she introduced them to me and my kiddos, we fell in love. Hubby not so much...so I have had to tweak the recipe a bit to his liking....so here is the easy-as-pie recipe:

4 eggs
1 cup of white flour
1 cup milk
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees...put butter in a 9x13 cake pan and place in the oven while it's preheating
In a mixing bowl combine eggs, flour, milk, and sugar.
Take pan out of oven and spread butter around
Add egg mixture and bake in preheated oven for 15 min (it will puff up while cooking, this is normal)


BEST SYRUP EVER:

A little background about the best syrup ever...so one time while I was staying at my friends in Delta, her Momma (who is also amazing) served my family this syrup. I was immediately in love and asked for the recipe. She showed me the cookbook that she got the recipe out of. (Worldwide Ward Cookbook). I thumbed through the cookbook and mentioned to my friend what a great cookbook it was and the next week one showed up for me compliments of you-know-who (told you she was amazing). So without further ado, here is the wonderful recipe:

1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 cups sugar
3 tbsp white corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla


In a six quart saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla. Boil for 5 min, Add vanilla.
(be sure to use a six quart pan...I forgot this step the first time I made it and made a huge mess of my stove).
Serve over your German pancakes and enjoy!
