Pfannkuchen, also known as Dutch Pancakes, are a popular breakfast dish in Germany and many other European countries. This dish is usually served in a large skillet and cut into slices before being garnished with powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice. The pancake itself is similar to a cross between a crepe and a cake, with a custard-like texture and a slightly sweet flavor. This particular recipe has a unique twist with the addition of lemon juice, which adds a tangy flavor that helps balance the sweetness of the pancake.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 8-inch oven-safe skillet.
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, and milk until smooth.
3.	Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and evenly distribute the softened butter on top.
4.	Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pancake has puffed up and the edges are golden brown.
5.	Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
