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.

Tried it once. Excellent! An easy delicious breakfast treat. Can you add blueberries to the batter? I think I’m going to give it a try.
Wonderful for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
This recipe was a HIT. Thank you for sharing 😊
I have made this twice and it is surprisingly delicious! I only have a glass 9 by 13 pan and that makes it cook too fast so I will adjust the time and temperature next time.😄
I love this recipe so much so I rate you a 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yummy! The flavor reminds me of French toast, but so much easier. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but the corners rose super high and almost burned by the time it was done. It got puffy, but went flat by the time it was cool enough to eat, and the corners and edges curled in and flopped over. Even so, it was delicious!
Too many eggs, makes it rubbery
I’m sorry it turned out rubbery–that shouldn’t be the case at all. Did you add the correct amount of each additional ingredient? Did they puff up?
Eggcellent made it the night before. Only took 19 minutes. Delicious. Wanted to add a picture. Loved it.
