The Best German Pancakes
I love German pancakes and this is the best German pancakes recipe ever! These pancakes puff up as they bake in the oven and there are little crevices in them for the butter and syrup to collect in. Yummy!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 6 tbsp butter
- Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Whisk the 6 large eggs together well.
- Add the milk and vanilla and whisk into the eggs.
- Add flour and fine sea salt and whisk well. There will be a few little lumps which is normal.
- Put cut up butter in a 9" x 13" or 8" x 11" baking dish and place the pan in the oven to melt it. I use an 8" x 11" glass pan because I like the pancakes to be a little thicker. You can use whichever size pan that you have available. I have used both sizes and the only difference is how thick the pancake is.
- After the butter is melted remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter over the butter. You don't need to stir the butter and the batter together.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the pancake are risen and golden brown. The middle of the pancake should be starting to brown a little as well.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. The sides of the pancake will cave in a little as it starts to cool.
- Cut into 6-8 pieces and serve with desired toppings.
