German Pancakes

German Pancakes are oven-baked pancakes made from eggs, milk, flour, and vanilla. The batter is poured over melted butter in a baking dish, creating a puffed, golden crusted pancake with a tender center. Dusting with powdered sugar and syrup adds sweetness when serving.

Description

German Pancakes use a batter made by blending eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. The batter is poured into a baking dish with melted butter, then baked at a high temperature (425°F) until puffy and golden brown around the edges. This cooking method produces a pancake that rises and forms crisp edges with a light, tender interior.

The flavor is mildly sweet with vanilla accent and buttery richness. The texture contrasts the crispy crust against the soft inside. Traditionally, the pancakes are served sprinkled with powdered sugar and syrup to enhance taste.

The recipe is straightforward and suitable for serving as a breakfast or brunch item. It provides a different texture and presentation compared to stovetop pancakes and can accommodate dietary adjustments like gluten-free flour substitution, which is noted to work well.
