I was first introduced to German pancakes when friends had us over for brunch a decade ago. I haven’t eaten once since… I’ve thought a lot about them though. So when I saw this recipe (on Real Mom Kitchen via Pinterest, of course) for mini-German pancakes, I jumped at the chance to make them for the kids.
The recipe is made in a blender and baked in muffin tins. I mixed it up it in less than five minutes. I had to sit and wait for the oven to finish pre-heating. Can anyone say, “easy?” My only warning is that you need to make a lot. I made 18 and between the 4 of us, we ate them all. Daddy wasn’t even home to help us. I probably could’ve made 24 with the recipe, but I only have 18 muffin spots! Ha! Also, they taste egg-y so those who don’t like egg custards or the like need not partake. I found them to be utterly delightful.
Mini-German Pancakes
1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. orange zest (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend first six ingredients in a blender. Make sure any flour clumps get well-blended.
- Mix in butter slowly to temper the eggs. (I poured mine through the blender top slowly and it worked fine)
- Fill 24 greased muffin tins evenly
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top.
- Top with fresh fruit, syrup, and sugar. (We topped ours with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh strawberries)
Enjoy!! What did you make this week?
