Description

Indulge in fluffy, golden German Pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch. A simple twist on a classic that everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving those perfectly puffed pancakes.
  2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Generously butter a skillet or baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. This will create a beautiful golden crust.
  3. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine your eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the Batter: Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour the batter into it. Be cautious as the butter may sizzle!
  5. Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is puffed up.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensures that the batter mixes easily for a smoother texture.
  • Don’t Open the Oven: Keep the door closed while baking for the best rise and fluffiness.
  • Serve Immediately: These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while they’re still puffy!
  • Experiment with Toppings: Get creative—maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit can elevate the dish.
  • Adjust Baking Time: Depending on your oven, you might need to adjust the cooking time slightly—keep an eye on them!
