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.

My daughter and I decided to make this recipe for brunch today- after 15 minutes it rose so high, and the edges are browned. We substituted with oat milk. Is this normal –
That is exactly what it does! Hope you loved it!

This recipe has been raved about in our house!
The husband and kids LOVED it, it was simple as well.
I haven’t been able to get a nice custard like pancake yet, but don’t have the proper size pan (yet) so maybe that’s a factor? The family is excited for me to practice it repeatedly though!
