Best 2 German Pancakes From The Mennonite Treasury Of Recipes
German pancakes are a classic breakfast dish that originated in Germany. They are also known as Dutch babies or puff pancakes. These pancakes are unique in that they are cooked in a hot skillet with butter and then baked in the oven until they are puffy and golden brown. This results in a pancake that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. German pancakes are often served with butter, syrup, and fruit. They can also be topped with powdered sugar or whipped cream. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast recipe, German pancakes are a great option. With so many variations and toppings to choose from, you are sure to find a combination that you will love.

MENNONITE GERMAN PANCAKES
Most people whip their German Pancakes to death and they turn out thin. I have a Mennonite heritage and this recipe is the way we made them in our house. Leaving a few lumps in the batter makes them puffy. You could try to triple the recipe and put it in a 9 x 13 pan and then divide but I like the individual portions. I like how they turn out round made from cake pans that have completely vertical sides, not slanted out.

Steps:
- If you make more than one pancake, make each one individually.
- Stir with a fork only leaving lumps in batter.
- Pour into a metal cake pan that has about 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine melted into it. (I like to use metal cake pans with completely vertical sides as it works better than glass pans.).
- Bake at 350 degrees about 15-20 minutes. I sometimes bake them slightly longer until the puffs are golden brown.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. You may eat it this way or top with the wonderful strawberry freezer jam, warmed up, like we do at our house. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
- Make sure the butter is hot enough before adding the batter, otherwise the pancakes will stick.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
- Flip the pancakes only once, when the edges are golden brown and bubbles are forming on the surface.
- Serve the pancakes immediately, with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
German pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them sweet or savory, there is a German pancake recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a new breakfast idea, give German pancakes a try!
