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.

Love Dutch Babies, my recipe is a skillet size and serves 2. Never thought of making large batches for two baking pans at a time so everyone doesn’t sit around waiting to keep making more, yeah. I love them best with sprinkled powder sugar and squeeze a slice of lemon over it, sometimes a drizzle of syrup also, yum. Also delicious to chop apples and sauté in butter until tender, add brown sugar and a pinch of salt as a topping. Or melt jelly or jam. Mmmm, sounds like a Dutch Baby tomorrow morning. Thanks so much!

We have a motorhome with a micro/convection, no range. Should anything change for convection? Time? Temp? Our family recipe calls for 400 deg and 13 minutes. Yours a bit hotter and longer. Our first attempt in the new convection, did not rise like we thought it would.
