I recall she beat eggs and added at least flour and milk to the eggs. I am not sure what else if anything went into this mix. She cooked the mixture in a fry pan like you do scrambled eggs. The end product looked like scrambled eggs but was hardly egg tasting. She sprinkled sugar on the scrambled stuff and served it to us. Sometimes it was done at lunch and sometimes breakfast. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about?

Queenie, this was my aunts recipe...I never made it because 12 eggs is too many...but it may help...supposed to serve 4-5 people

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup sour cream
3/8 teaspoon salt
Parsley -- Chopped
1 tablespoon Flour
12 Eggs
1/16 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:
In a small pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Remove from heat and blend in sour cream. Return to heat and cook until bubbly and smooth; set aside.

Beat together eggs, salt, and pepper. In a wide frying pan over medium low heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; pour in eggs and cook, gently lifting cooked portion to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath, until eggs are softly set. Remove from heat and gently stir in sour cream mixture.

You might try on line for Amish or American Indian egg recipes...it has that sound to it. ... and if your Gran was from N. Can...Indian might be the place to look....

Thanks for the recipe but that doesn't sound like what I am looking for. My grandmother was from Germany and I don't think she ever read a cookbook so what she knew was from her family and the community around her. The sugar sprinkled on this scrambled egg sort of thing made it sweet. If my memory is correct the taste was more like a cake but it looked like scrambled eggs.

In that case, try Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch recipes...and in the mean time, i'll check with my uncle for something from my Gramps...He was from Germany also...

Schmarren (scrambled pancakes)
Pancakes that are chopped up like scrambled eggs is the best way to describe this easy to make recipe. Serve hot with syrup or honey drizzled over it.

1-2 cups of flour 4 eggs

1 t. salt 1 cup milk

Mix ingredients and add enough flour to make medium consistency batter. Fry on hot greased skillet and turn when brown. Chop and cut into small pieces until the Schmarren is golden brown

Tango - your recipe sounds closer. I'll copy that in case a recipe doesn't pop up that sounds even more like it. Thanks.
