German Pancakes Recipe
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.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 6 egg large
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- syrup for serving
- powdered sugar
- Fruit
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place butter in a 9x13 inch pan and place in oven to melt while the oven is preheating.
- In a blender, combine milk, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pulse until smooth.
- Once butter is melted, pour batter directly into the center of the pan on top of the butter.
- Carefully transfer pan back to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffy and edges are golden brown.
- Cut into sections and top with syrup and powdered sugar (or other toppings like fruit, whipped cream, or cinnamon-sugar) and serve.
Notes
- Add fresh peaches and whipped cream as toppings for a variation on classic German pancakes.
