German Pancakes are a pan pancake that gets puffy and golden in the oven. This is a breakfast staple at our house! Easy to make, even the older kids can make this on their own! This Simple German Pancake Recipe couldn’t be any easier to make!! It only takes 5 minutes to get this ready for the oven! German Pancakes are perfect for feeding a crowd or a bunch of hungry teenagers on any day of the week!! We love to eat these with powdered sugar or syrup. If we have fruit on hand, these are delicious with raspberries, sliced strawberries and even blueberries! how to make german pancakes collage

How to Make German Pancakes

These fluffy, golden German Pancakes are a cinch to make.

  1. First, you will want to get your oven heating up to 450ºF.
  2. In a 9 X 13 inch baking dish place the 4 tbsp of butter and place in the oven while it heats up. This will melt the butter in the bottom of the baking dish. Remove the butter when it is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it because you don’t want your butter to burn.
  3. While the butter is melting in the oven mix together the pancake ingredients. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you don’t own a blender this can be done in a large stand mixer, in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or by hand with a whisk.
     
  4. Pour the pancake ingredients into the baking dish with the melted butter.
  5. Place back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is fluffy and golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and enjoy warm with syrup and fruit

Just a little tip…make sure your oven rack is in the center and not too close to the top, this pancake can rise a few inches above the pan and you don’t want it hitting the top of your oven. pouring syrup on a german pancake

    Delicious, easy breakfast. The recipe was easy to follow, but it never says when to use the sugar. Was it granulated sugar in with the other ingredients or powdered sugar that you put on top after it’s baked??

    I’ve tried a bunch of other German pancake recipes, but the whole family agreed this one is the keeper! I think the high cook temp makes the edges so perfectly browned and crispy, plus this one puffs up so high! Bookmarking the page since we will be making these every weekend!
