German Pancakes with Grape Syrup

These are a family favorite. I think my kids would choose this meal over any other food and they are always requested by family visiting from out of town. I learned to make these in 7th grade Home Ec.  The syrup was made with apple juice but, when I was young, my dad grew grapes and we had an abundance of grape juice. One day, we were out of apple juice so I tried grape instead.  It was a hit and I've been making it that way every since. Enjoy!
