Description

This oven-baked German Pancake is one of those magic breakfasts that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier to make. It puffs up beautifully in the oven, has crispy buttery edges, and a soft custardy center that’s just begging for syrup. Made with simple pantry ingredients and blended in seconds, this recipe is perfect for lazy weekends, holidays, or breakfast-for-dinner nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven
Preheat oven to 420°F (215°C). While it heats up, place ½ cup (1 stick) butter in a 9×13” glass or metal baking dish and put the dish in the oven to melt the butter.

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Step 2: Blend the batter
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and fully combined (about 30 seconds).

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Step 3: Pour and bake
Carefully remove the hot pan with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter directly into the pan, over the butter.

Step 4: Bake until golden and puffy
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake has puffed up and the edges are golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Slice and serve immediately with syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or lemon juice—whatever you love!
