German Pancakes
Light and buttery, Dutch baby German pancakes are extremely easy to make, and their cooking is hassle-free. Put them in the oven and enjoy them 15 minutes later!
Servings: 2 - 4 portions
Calories: 330
Ingredients
- 2 eggs , large
- ⅔ cup milk (160 milliliters)
- salt , a pinch
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (70 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ounce unsalted butter , see notes (30 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit (220° Celsius).
- Meanwhile: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Add salt and flour combined with baking powder. Whisk until smooth (you can do this in a blender if you like). Set aside.
- Option 1: Preheat your 10-inch (25-centimeter) cast iron skillet in the oven and when ready to cook the pancake, add butter, let it melt (watch it – you don’t want to burn the butter). Then pour the pancake batter in and bake.
- Option 2: In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt butter over low-medium heat. Increase the heat, pour the batter in and cook for about 60 seconds. Turn off the heat and transfer the skillet into a well-preheated oven.
- For both options: Bake for 15 minutes or until the pancake is puffed up, browned and cooked through.
- Serve warm with anything you like!
Notes
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use another skillet as long as it is oven-proof (handle too!). A brownie pan or a small rectangular oven dish will also work.
- This recipe can serve from 2 (very generous portions) up to 4 people (as a lighter breakfast or dessert, and when served with a lot of toppings).
- This is a sugar-free pancake batter. The sweetness is added with toppings (more ideas in the post).
- 1-ounce butter is about 2 tablespoons.
