German Pancakes was one of my favorite breakfasts growing up, and I’ve loved watching it become one of my kids’ favorite breakfasts now. They love how the german pancakes puff up in the pan while they cook in the oven.
Top them with powdered sugar and syrup and they’re to die for!
If these are new to you (as they were to my husband, Jeff), make them! Make them NOW! You wont regret it. 🙂
What are German Pancakes?
German pancakes, often called Dutch Baby pancakes are baked pancakes made from eggs, milk, flour and vanilla. The pancakes are baked in a metal or cast iron pan, puff up in the oven and then fall as they cool.
How to make German Pancakes:
- Add 5 tablespoons of butter to a 9×13 inch baking and place it in your preheating oven to melt.
- Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, flour, salt and vanilla to a blender; cover and blend until smooth. Pour batter into the baking dish, over the melted butter.
3. Bake until the edges are golden brown and puffy, about 22-27 minutes.
4. Serve warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and syrup.

I couldn’t believe how simple this recipe was to feed the family. I used almond milk because it’s all I had. It looked just like the picture.

What a great recipe!! The whole family loved it! I love trying your recipes because they are fast, easy, and delicious. I never learned to cook, and with 2 small kids I need a lot of guidance on cooking healthy foods I can prepare myself. Your website and recipes are are my go-to. Thank you for helping me learn to cook. This is another favorite in my house! Best, Maureen

Thanks for sharing this recipe. A couple years ago we made these weekly ~ we called them Puff-up Pancakes. I recently went to make them using my old recipe and it was a flop!! I tried yours and they turned out wonderfully. I hand mixed mine and only used 4 Tablespoon of butter. Glass pan worked better for me. I have the goldtouch metal pans from William Sonoma and they did not puff up the right way
