1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, and seeds scraped out with a knife and reserved
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 cup water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 pint raspberries
1/2 pint blueberries, rinsed
1/2 pint strawberries, rinsed, tops trimmed, halved or quartered, if large
3 small Granny Smith apples or other tart baking apple (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 Bosc pears (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Grated zest of 2 oranges, plus their juice
Two 3-inch-long cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons Calvados, Apple Jack, or brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Set aside.
  • Heat a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and brush the inside with the shortening. Pour in the batter and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. and continue baking until puffed and golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes more. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the pancake. Serve immediately in the skillet with maple syrup, marinated berries, or glazed apples and pears.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently until syrupy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.
  • Peel, core, and cut both the apples and pears into 3/4-inch wedges. In a medium bowl, toss the fruit with the lemon juice.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon sticks and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the fruit, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until glazed, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the orange juice, and cook until the fruit is easily pierced with a paring knife, about 1 minute more. If desired, add the Calvados. If cooking on a gas burner, carefully tip the pan toward the flame to flambe the alcohol; if cooking over an electric element, hold a long match near the mixture. Swirl the pan over the heat until the flame subsides. Serve warm.

GERMAN APPLE PANCAKE



German Apple Pancake image

Also known as a Dutch baby, this is a terrific 'special day' recipe. If you are strapped for time, you can start it the evening before and pretty much pop it in the oven. The presentation is excellent! You can shorten the preparation time by using apple pie filling, but the crisp of new apples really makes it.

GERMAN PANCAKE



German Pancake image

Piping hot and puffy from the oven, this golden pancake made a pretty presentation for a skier's theme breakfast I hosted. Served with homemade buttermilk syrup, it's an eye-opening treat. Make several German pancakes if you're feeding a crowd, and keep in mind that my easy syrup tastes great on waffles and French toast, too. -Renae Moncur, Burley, Idaho

GERMAN PANCAKES RECIPE



German Pancakes Recipe image

Simple & Sweet German Pancakes are so quick and easy to prepare. They're sure to become a new favorite in your home!

Provided by Life Made Simple Team

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole eggs
3 egg whites (or can use 6 Tbsp of liquid egg whites)
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt (rounded)
1 Tbsp brown sugar (packed)
3 Tbsp butter (salted and cubed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°
  • Add the whole eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, vanilla, salt and brown sugar to a blender. Blend the batter on low for 1 minute and then scrape down the sides in case any flour is sticking to the sides. Continue to blend on low for another 2 minutes.
  • Put the butter into a 9x13 baking dish (I used glass) and place into the preheated oven while the batter rests for 5 minutes. The butter should start to boil but watch that it doesn't burn.
  • When the rest time is done, take the dish out of the oven and swirl the butter to make sure it spreads all over.
  • Give the batter a quick stir or pulse then carefully pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 300° and cook for an additional 5 minutes. While cooking, the pancake edges will puff up about 2 inches above the rim and then deflate when it is taken out of the oven.
  • As soon as it comes out of the oven, swirl the dish once more to distribute any melted butter left on top evenly over the pancake.
  • Serve with strawberries and powdered sugar or syrup.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is melted and not just softened. This will help the pancakes cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes before cooking. This will help the flour absorb the liquid and produce a more tender pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. High heat will cause the pancakes to burn before they're cooked through.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

German pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They're perfect for a crowd, and they can be topped with a variety of ingredients to suit everyone's taste. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect German pancakes every time.
