Description

German pancakes are wonderfully delicious, magically poofy (kids love to watch them bake!) and satiating (thanks to lots of eggs in the batter), but they’re also ridiculously easy to make. Worthy of a special occasion or a simple, cozy Sunday morning at home, they’re a recipe they feels fancy but could not be any easier to whip up at the last minute!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Dash of salt
Optional (but highly recommended!):
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar
  • Preferred toppings: We love maple syrup and fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add butter to a 9×13 baking dish and put into the oven to melt as the oven preheats.
  2. In a high-powered blender, blend eggs, flour, milk, vanilla and salt until completely smooth. Once oven is preheated and butter is melted, remove the baking dish from the oven and pour pancake batter into baking dish.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until very puffy. The edges of the pancake should be slightly browned and golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
  5. Add additional toppings (we love maple syrup and fresh berries) and enjoy!
