Kochen mit Vati

On most mornings, Vati gets me up and I bring a few friends and books to the living room. Sometimes we read, sometimes we play with Klotzen (blocks), and sometimes I perform a cabinet inventory, but that usually only distracts me for a little while. I have a big appetite in the morning, and Vati always makes breakfast.
I like to be as close to the action as possible. So I bring Vati my Baby Björn from the desk chair.
He usually cooks Eier (eggs), Hafer (oatmeal), and a Pfannkuch (pancake). Sometimes he gives me some Pfannkuch. It's my favorite. I'm also a big fan of Pawn Haas (scrapple), but we haven't had any of that since shortly after Na-Na and Pop-Pop came to visit all the way from Pennsylvania.

Here's the pancake recipe as near as I can tell, since Vati never measures anything:
2 eggs
Buttermilk
- Beat together
Oat flour, buckwheat flour, rye flour, sorghum flour, and/or whole wheat flour (rarely)
Baking Soda
Cinnamon
Ginger
- Add and mix thoroughly
- Cook over medium heat turning once
