Pancake Batter
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional – for the sweet version)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Baking
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Preheat and Prepare Butter: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Place the 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking pan and put the pan in the oven to melt the butter while the oven heats.
- Make the Batter: In a blender, combine the 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional), 1 cup all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Carefully remove the hot baking pan from the oven with melted butter. Pour the blended batter into the pan over the melted butter evenly.
- Bake until Puffy and Golden: Bake the German pancake for 22-27 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, puffed up, and set in the center.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, maple syrup, additional butter, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy your fluffy baked German pancake warm!
Notes
- The powdered sugar in the batter is optional depending on your desired sweetness.
- Use a blender to ensure a lump-free smooth batter for the best texture.
- Keep an eye on the pancake during the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning.
- This pancake is best served immediately to enjoy its puffy texture.
- Feel free to customize toppings with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts for variety.
