German Pancakes Recipe

German pancakes are a baked pancake made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla, baked in melted butter until puffed and golden brown. The edges crisp up while the center stays tender and custardy. Typically served with syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit toppings.

Description

The German Pancakes Recipe begins by melting butter in a baking pan placed in a hot oven. Meanwhile, a batter is made by blending milk, large eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth. This batter is poured into the hot, butter-lined pan and baked at a high temperature until the pancake puffs dramatically and edges turn golden and crisp.

The resulting pancake contrasts a crisp, buttery edge with a soft, custard-like center. It is commonly cut into squares and topped with powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit for added sweetness and texture.

Try serving with whipped cream and sliced peaches for a twist on the traditional presentation.

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
