Breakfast in Germany tends to consist of breads, toast, and boiled eggs. Occasionally you will find honey, preserves, luncheon meat, and cheeses on the breakfast table as well. However, there are certain dishes sometimes served for midday meal, that lend themselves well to the American breakfast or brunch. One example is Pfannkuchen.
These are yummy! I have had a lot of people ask for recipes for these, and here it is finally! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Maultaschen are loosely equivalent to ravioli in Germany, and can contain any number of fillings, sweet and savory. In Bavaria, it is common to have a sweet filling such as apple. There are also several ways of creating the dough. Some recipes call for a potato dough (which is the traditional way) or a typical flour dough.
This recipe is an adaptation of a Bavarian recipe I came across online which uses a potato dough. Enjoy!
