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.

Lauren, I didn’t have two metal pans, so I used one glass and a metal pan. The metal pan raised two possibly three times higher with lots of hills and valleys. Also, I was out of vanilla flavoring so I used maple. The family loved them. It’s also a great recipe to make with little children as helpers. Thank you.
I am not fond of regular pancakes and don’t know how this recipe popped up but it looked interesting so I decided to try it. So glad I did as these are really good and very easy to make. I will make these again.
These were phenomenal. Easy to make and very little ingredients that you’ll most likely already have on hand. I think the key to this recipe is to ensure that you’re using a blender and introducing enough air into the batter. I was tempted to use a whisk but I didn’t think that the batter would be as light and fluffy. After a couple bites, my kids already asking when I was going to make it again because it was so good. So thank you. As a busy mom of multiples, forgive me a quick breakfast recipe and making my morning that much easier. Highly recommend and you can use different toppings.
Easy, and now it’s my favorite pancake recipe.
Thank you.
