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 had never even heard of these, but I made them this morning. WOW!!!! And soooo easy!!!! This is my new favorite breakfast recipe!
Thanks Lauren! They’re one of my favorites too!
I have been making theses for years. I add a sliced apple and top with a tablespoon brown sugar before placing in the oven. no syrup required
Saw these being made on Home & Family TV show today. Know the show is an old one but was so happy to find the
recipe on Pinterest. Will try these tomorrow with the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed lemon as they did on the show.
I’m going to try these today, can’t wait to taste them.
they are really good with just lemon juice and powdered sugar instead of syrup!
I use buttermilk, then lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar or sour cream to top and the children make them disappear 🙂
Panokuken!
Just made these for my hubby & they were delish! Thank you for the recipe!!
These are SO good. I used to make them alot for my 2 boys when they were growing up.
what size baking dish do you use?
It says she used 9 by 13 in.
You can also use a muffin pan, but then technically they’d be called Pop-Overs, also great.
these look so good! going to try and make them tomorrow morning!
Make this pancake in a Bundt pan and take new pictures! It will come out beautiful, very little deflating. And you can run a knife in a circle around the center when it is done, and add warn fruit or pie filling!
This is so flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. I made this for a German project at school.
