German Pancakes

What Is a German Pancake

A German pancake is an oven-baked pancake. These pancakes use eggs, flour, and milk. They puff up in the oven without any baking powder. The eggs do all the lifting. Think of it as a crepe’s fluffier cousin who lifts weights.
These pancakes are fun to make and even more fun to eat. They come out of the oven golden, puffy, and proud, kind of like your dog after finding a stick three times its size.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour

How to Make German Pancakes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven until the butter melts.
3. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the hot dish over the melted butter.
5. Bake for 20 minutes. Do not open the oven while baking. The pancake needs quiet time to grow.

Serving Tip
Cut it like a pizza. No syrup judgment here, flood it or drizzle it. This pancake can handle both.
