Pannukakku (German pancake)

So I had some leftover fresh strawberries and some leftover freezer strawberries in syrup that I needed to use up.  So I decided to give this pannukakku recipe a try.  It must have been okay as the whole pan is gone.  It is a cross between a custard and a pancake, but with the strawberries over top you can't go wrong.  I just cut up the fresh strawberries and mixed them in with the frozen strawberries with syrup and served it along side the pancake.

1/4 c. butter
3 eggs
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Put butter in 9x13 inch pan and put in oven while preheating.  In the meantime stir sugar, salt and flour together.  Add in the eggs, milk and vanilla with a blender.  Remove pan from oven and carefully move butter around pan covering the bottom and sides with butter.  Add extra butter in with the batter and mix again (batter will be very thin).  After you have batter mixed, pour it back into the cake pan and return to the oven.  Bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly browned around the edges.  Cut into squares and serve with strawberries.

10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
5 oz. can evaporated milk
1/3 c. finely chopped onion
4 oz. can chopped green chilies
1 envelope taco seasoning

Mix all together in small slow cooker and warm.  Serve with tortilla chips.
