German pancake with fresh fruit |
There are tons of recipes out there but I used this one recently and loved it! http://www.camelotgemsandjewelry.com/about-us-2/culinary/rat/bakery/cakes/german-pancakes It tells you to make sure your eggs are at room temperature and that you warm the milk. The only change I would make is to add a smidgen of salt.
German pancakes
6 eggs, room temperature
1 cup sifted bread flour or all-purpose flour* (I used regular flour)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons butter
Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Powdered (confectioners’) sugar
2 ) In a large bowl or blender, beat the eggs until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy. Using pot holders, remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the butter; tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the skillet.
3 ) Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven.
4 ) Bake approximately 20 – 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges) – it may puff irregularly in the center. The timing will also depend on the size of your pan or skillet.
5 ) Carefully remove the pancake from the oven and serve immediately. Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate.
6 ) Serve with sliced lemons and powdered sugar.

Oh this is one of my favorite things to eat in all the world. I love it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. Always a treat.
ReplyDeleteMarty...such a great idea for dessert!! What do you put in it for dinner?
ReplyDeleteI have always just eaten these ghe traditional way with lemon and powdered sugar. It didn't occur to me to add fruit. I am sure it tastes good with the fruit as it tastes good plain too!
